I Wish I was WRONG....

This is one of those times where I was just hoping I was wrong. Chris did break his wrist and it is a really bad break. Because of our lack of insurance, the Dr. is trying to set the bone back without having surgery to put pins in. Yeah, I know...really bad! Thankfully because Chris wore the wrist brace all week the fragment didn't move and displace itself. This is not an actual x-ray of his wrist but I was trying to show what happened.

Basically he broke off the corner of the larger bone on the right near the top, before the cluster of bones. I don't know how to edit pictures and stuff so this is all I've got. Wish us luck and please send good vibes our way for a quick recovery.

I'm mostly amazed that he continued on the full week with a broken wrist. What a tough (or crazy?) guy! Hopefully surgery isn't necessary.

I'm so sorry. Are you feeling like the bad luck keeps coming? I know the feeling well, and I'm sorry. I hope that it heals good. Remember lots of milk!

Yuck, yuck, and more Yuck! I can't believe he stayed on his camp out all week with that kind of break. I guess I'm just a baby 'cause I would have made everyone take me right home!!! What a man!
