Donna’s radius (the large bone in her forearm) was broken in two places at
the wrist, with minimal displacement.  Her ulna (the smaller bone) was
dislocated.  She had 2 hours of surgery Wednesday to reduce the
fracture and dislocation while placing a plate over her radial fracture. 
And she never complained on the way down (except to hint we were going to slow).
