This morning Bob had a check-up with the surgeon. She was pleased with how things are looking.
He now has feeling back in almost all of his fingers, and the pain is getting more manageable. There is still quite a bit of swelling as you can tell from the pictures.
She gave him a removable cast. It is basically a brace he can take off to shower, and put ice on it.This brace also gives his fingers more movement so that will help with the swelling too.(the brace is on the couch next to him in the picture)
Next week he goes back to get the stitches out. (I will spare you a photo of the stitches, it is a little gruesome.)
Hopefully he will also be able to start to work from home tomorrow,and go into work at least for a 1/2 day to begin with by the end of the week or next week for sure.The pain med. he is on makes him a little nauseous reading the computer screen for to long.
Again we just have to say a huge THANK YOU to our great friends and neighbors who have helped us so much.
