So how long is long enough? My reply is, As long as it takes for you.. Just as each of us has individual DNA and fingerprints, so do we have individual and unique ways of saying good-bye to our loved ones. There are no rules or time limits on how long one should grieve.For some, the grief period will be brief, for others it may be years. Studies have found that people typically take somewhere between six months to two years.o how long is long enough? My reply is, As long as it takes for you..

It usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks for a proximal humerus fracture to unite. But, this is only the take for bony union, it does not take into account the time that will be needed for full recovery.
Healing of a mid-shaft humerus fracture takes several months but often exercises to improve the mobility of the shoulder and elbow joints are initiated much sooner. The two complications often seen are injuries to the radial nerve and nonunion of the fracture. Injuries to the radial nerve occur because this important nerve tightly wraps around the middle of the humerus. The radial nerve can be injured at the time of the fracture or during treatment of the fracture.
