Honeybun had surgery yesterday to repair her broken arm. The break was where the radius (one of the forearm bones) joins the elbow. They weren’t able to repair it, so they had to remove the bones fragments that were floating around. Someday she may have to have a prostetic put in. For now the doctor [...]
