I don’t know the full extent of her injuries either. Fractured ulna, the doctor said. It was cracked but not misaligned. She’ll need to wear a cast on her arm for four to six weeks. Three cracked ribs, hairline only. The most worrisome injury is the fractures to her leg. They required surgery yesterday. Oblique displacement, it’s called. The surgery realigned the bones, and they secured it all with a metal plate and screws. She’ll have to wear a cast on the leg for up to eight weeks and not bear weight on it as it heals. A broken arm and a broken leg. And no mother. My poor, sweet little lamb.
