My thumb

I went and saw the ortho surgeon yesterday and the good news is I do not have to have surgery, PHEW. However, I didn't fracture it in 3 places, I fractured it a lot more than that. I got to see my x-rays and I have 3 main fractures but multiple fractures that branch off of those. So pretty much my thumb looks like a tree with many branches. I did however, manage to keep the bones aligned. So, I am in a "custom" made pretty purple splint on my thumb. I go back in a week for more xrays and if the bones shift I will get a cast but if they stayed I stay in the splint. The DR said it could take several months for the swelling to go away and I may not get all the feeling back in it. So that's a short recap. Hailey has been a wonderful helper, she has helped switch the laundry, put my hair in a ponytail, and just help with whatever I need. Taylin on the other hand, well she makes me want to take more vicodin!!
