So........Vincent hurt his thumb playing basketball for Sammamish. He hurt it on Friday night. He complained about it but we put ice on it and said lets see how it feels tomorrow. Well Saturday he played a late indoor soccer game and felt his thumb move out of the socket and was in pain. Gary took him to the hospital at about midnight. They got out of ER at 3am. He did not break it, but he might have done some tissue damage. Instructions to have Vincent see orthopedic surgeon monday morning.
Monday morning we go see the doctor. And sure enough he has torn the ligament off the bone. Luck had it and she had an opening that day at 2pm. Our appointment was at 10. Off we went and got his pre-surgery physical appointment done. Then we had a couple of hours to kill. Gary and I had lunch, poor Vincent could not eat because of the surgery.
Surgery was about a half hour late. Not too bad. We got home by 5:30 pm.
It was a long day. But all went well. We are very thankful we both have jobs that are flexible and we have great health insurance. We use it a lot. :-)
Vincent Sunday...feeling ok- he can not move his hand.
Vincent can text pretty good with one hand.
Monday - waiting for surgery...Good thing the boys had their I-touches so they could post on face book and play games.
Yes I am here- Gary told me to go home and that he could take care of everything.
What! Mom's don't leave at a time like this! This is why people have Mothers to help them through times like this. Nice that Gary thinks he has things under control. :-) But no way!
Getting closer to surgery time. Vincent is very mellow. Poor guy.
Reading his kindle. He is a reading machine. We are buying him a new book about once a week. No joke. I told him I would buy him as many books as he can read. Much better than video games!
Cool electrodes that read your brain waves. So during surgery they can be sure you are sleeping and resting. Way cool!
Saying good bye is hard on Mom's. I did get choked up as he was leaving. The nurses were very nice to me. Gary could not understand why I was getting a tear in my eye.
All went great. The surgery was a success. He did great and everything is all back together again. I was so glad to have it over with.
Vincent is looking a little drugged up here. Well he is...I wanted to video tape him, but the nurse did not think that was a good idea. Darn.
I do love my Vincent! I am so glad he is home!
