Happy Friday All. Hope it's been a good one for you.
Our was a bit craze as it included an unscheduled hand surgery for DS. He had a soccer game last night in a city about an hour away and he was playing keeper last night, first time in 2 years. (Their normal keeper was away.) About half way through the second half, one of the opposing players kicked him hard enough to break his right index finger in right at the knuckle. Being the trooper that he is, he played the rest of the game, even getting some more touches on the ball. Once we say what his finger looked like we decided that a trip to the emergency room was probably a good idea. Luckily the regional hospital was next to the field.
After the attending physician saw the x-ray, he recommended we find a hotel and return to their plastics clinic in the am. So even though we had no other clothes, toiletries or contact solution, we found a hotel and returned to the hospital in the morning. Again, luck was on our side as the specialist he saw turned out to be one of the leading hand reconstruction surgeons in the world and promptly decided that he was putting a wire in his finger and we would need to make a few visits back down the highway to see him again. The bad news for DS is that the wire needs to be there for 6 weeks so that puts him out of action for awhile. The biggest hit for him is that he will now miss the high performance basketball camp he was invited too.
Other than that, it was a good day.
