I had to work all day, and then right as I got off, my mom called and said my brother had wrecked his 3-wheeler and had broken his arm. It was pretty bad so we had to take him to the emergency room. He broke both bones in his arm near his wrist. The biggest bone he just snapped in half, the smaller is broken, but not pulled apart. They will have to do surgery tomorrow to put a plate on the bone that broke in half. The doc let him have the choice of staying in the hospital tonight or going home, and my brother wanted to go home. So the doc gave him some pain meds and he will have his surgery about 3pm tomorrow. I'm just really thankful he didn't get hurt worse than he did. He wasn't even goign that fast, he just hit some gravel, and the 3-wheeler flipped, and the handlebar landed on his arm, that's what broke it... He'll be in a cast for at least 6 weeks, which means he won't be able to get his liscense until the middle of the summer. Poor little guy, I feel so bad for him..
