That's hard to say. It depends on how deep it went in, how much damage it caused to vital organs, how much blood was lost, if an infection like tetanus sets in, etc. For example if it punctured a lung, recovery could take six to eight weeks. If it damaged something like the spleen, it could be eight to thirteen weeks. Tetanus could add a month or more. TLDR if blood loss didn't kill them first, it would probably take at least a few months.

Whumpee starts a hobby or a collection, something that offers them a sense of control and oversight in the aftermath of what happened, but it doesn't help when they would rather channel all of the admittedly tight finances toward that than the medical supplies they need to recover in other ways

Ooo, and I can imagine Whumpee trying to sabotage their own recovery as soon as Whumper's back is turned so they can buy just a little more time before the torture they know is coming -- but of course that'll only mean another heap of punishment on top of everything else later.

The others send Whumpee a ton of get-well flowers, which end up activating their allergies on top of being injured

"So...now that you're back on your feet, I guess that means you'll be going soon..."

"Oh. Yeah. I guess so."

"..."

"Ask me to stay. Please."

Parental Caretaker sternly full-naming the restless Whumpee to make them stay in bed and actually recover and Whumpee trying to keep up their indignant front while internally screaming because they're just now realizing they've become close enough to do that

Feeling super stimmy today so naturally I'm thinking about Whumpee finally being free to stim without shame or restraint and just going ham (bonus points if it gets Caretaker going too)

Caretaker and Whumpee reclaiming one of the nicknames that Whumper tried to ruin because it was theirs first and Whumper has no right to use it and no power over them anymore ❤️

Whumpee pushing themself too hard to get back to work because they’re feeling the pressure of the group needing them and promptly reinjuring themself so they’re set back even longer

Thanks for enjoying my blog! 

On average it can take approximately seven to ten days to recover from a concussion and around six to eight weeks for a broken arm to heal. For a dislocated arm, they can stop wearing a sling after a few days and resume most normal activities within two weeks, but they shouldn’t do intensive exercise or heavy lifting for six weeks or more. 

So depending on how intense the investigation activity is and how long it goes on, he could end up reinjuring the arm if he’s back in the action too fast. Maybe after the concussion recovery, he could focus on the information gathering/research side of things at his home base rather than being in the field, to give his arm a chance to heal further? Just a thought. You have a good day too!

Here are the symptoms [x] and here is the first aid: [x] Then at the hospital they may receive cool IV fluids, a cooling blanket, an ice bath, medications to prevent seizures and supplemental oxygen. During their recovery, their body will probably be more sensitive to high temperatures. They should avoid the heat and physical activity for at least a week and they’ll probably need periodic tests to monitor kidney and liver function. After they’ve had it once, they’re at higher risk to get it again.

Whumpee decides that it’s too much to hide anymore. They muster the courage to wear an outfit that leaves some of their scars in view, and can’t help but tear up when Caretaker tells them tenderly, without a moment of doubt, that they’re beautiful

I can never give exact times to questions like this. Everyone recovers at different speeds in ebbs and flows. Some take huge leaps and then regress. Some go slow and steady, little by little. But if they spend those years with a good support system -- gentle, understanding and empathetic family and friends (more than one, hopefully, so all of their burdens aren’t put on another single person) and professional help like a therapist, and if they’re open to receiving help, they probably have a good chance.

Caretaker takes Whumpee out shopping for nice scarves, ascots and neckerchiefs. Whumpee doesn’t like their throat being exposed now that they aren’t wearing the collar Whumper put on them, so Caretaker’s helping them with a healthier alternative.
