Son's op
Just found out number 2 son (35) has to have an op on his thumb.
He sustained an injury about 18 months ago, due to a fall, (he was a bit tiddly, but what the heck)
He went to the hospital the day after it happened, but they said it probably wasn't broken. He went back a few days later, they said the same thing. Even though it was twice the normal size. Now after all this time and numerous consultations, he has recently found out that, yes it was... in fact the bones are shattered and floating around. He is now due to have an op within a few weeks. He will have pins put in the top half of his thumb, and it will be fused at the top joint. He will have to learn to write with it like that, as this is permanent. As if he doesn't have enough to contend with, what with the epilepsy and arthritis. Still he seems to be coping well with the prospect...
