Back to hospital

So, on Tuesday Geoff fell against the back of the door - we think he got up too quickly and fainted - anyway, it was very sore and he went white. I thought maybe he'd dislocated his clavicle pin and so took him to emergency. They x-rayed him and said unfortunately the proximal humerus was broken. They sent him home with a sling, but his orthopaedic surgeon said it certainly won't heal, he will have to have a pin put in. It's obvious that the bone has shifted quite a lot already (he had another x-ray taken this morning). So he'll be nil by mouth from midnight, in tomorrow and hopefully back home again on Wednesday.
