Well, it was about that time again. The injury took place over Christmas break while we were with Em's family in California. We had gone Christmas caroling to some family friends and while concentrating on the singing instead of the walking, Russ missed the last step of the porch while leaving a home. Russ caught himself . . . with his hands of course.
At first we thought it was just a sprain, but it kept not getting better and is still swollen. So Russ had some X-Rays taken on Friday and had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. There were no breaks or fractures. However, the doctor informed Russ that he had torn two ligaments in his wrist. The treatment at this point . . . be good and use Lidoderm pain patches and let it heal itself.
If that doesn't work, it's off to surgery. Let's hope for the first solution to work.

Wow, that sucks. Hope you feel better soon, and it heals on its own. Hope everything is going great with the house, Maybe we could come visit you guys over Easter or something. Whatever works. Love Audra

I totally forgot Russ slipped! Poor guy- can't believe it's still bugging you! Hope you get better soon!
So sorry Russ! Dave has the same issues with his ankle. Sprains it all.the.time.
