Wrist Injury Update

Well, remember Russ' wrist injury??? It isn't healing on its own like it should. Russ gets to have surgery on May 5. Not fun. It's a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because the problem will get solved. It's bad because . . . well, it's surgery.

The doctor said he will start out orthoscopically. If he finds additional problems, it will turn into a full on surgery. The recovery time for orthoscopic surgery is 2-3 weeks. If it turns into something bigger, recovery time is 3-4 months. Let's hope for 2-3 weeks.

This will really put a damper on our kitchen remodel for which we brought home the cabinets and granite yesterday.

Please keep Russ in your prayers.

SOrry about the surgery Russ! That really stinks.

Having had a bunch in my life I can say it's not as bad as you think it's going to be but it's not a piece of cake either.

let us know if we can do anything from out here in Utah!

That's no fun! I bet Russ will love lying around and letting you pamper him for 2-3 months though. Good luck to both of you!
