My elderly father was in a rehab facility recovering from pneumnia, gaining strength reaching his physical activity goal, and a week from coming home. He was suppose to be on 2L oxygen at all times to keep his saturation at a minimum of 92%. This particular day he was left with an empty tank for a few hours. His oxygen saturation had dropped to 86%. We got a new tank going andI thought everything would be fine. 12 hours later the facility called and said his oxygen level had dropped to 84% and he was being rushed to the ER. There I was told his organs were shutting down (I recall them mentioning liver, pancreas, and kidneys) and he was not going to make it. He died 24 hours later. Even though my father was not in the best of health, I believe he was neglected, and his death was pushed forward because the facility left him without oxygen for a few hours.

I fell off of a trampoline and broke the two bones in my right arm in the 5th grade and I’m 17 now. The only therapy I had was when the nurses made me turn my arm a few different ways so they knew when to take the cast off, and then during the one follow-up.
Now I get this shooting pain that starts at the joint in my wrist and ends just before my funny bone. It happens randomly, but usually starts when I stretch out my hand to grab something. I also hit my funny bone a lot. I mean like constantly, about 5 or 6 times a week.
I’ll have my arm in the same position for a few minutes, and then my funny bone will randomly start to hurt just like the bone in my arm does. As for the shooting pain, its like: I feel this tingle on the outside bone in my arm, and as soon as I realize it, it turns into the general pain.
Is this because I never went through phsyical therpay, or does it just happen?
Thanks!
(Sorry for the long question)
