Corey's Surgery.
Oct. 25th, 2007 07:54 amFirst of all, he is okay.
Secondly, we are back to square one with his finger.
When the surgeon got inside, he saw that the leg tendon he'd put in last time was stuck in the tendon tube, which was why it wouldn't move and the previous surgery failed. In order to get the leg tendon out, there was a lot of stretching and pulling and trauma given to the tube, so he decided to put the silicone linguini stuff back in and let things heal up. The surgeon is not happy, Corey is less than happy, and I'm just trying to keep things going around here and not think about it. He will be back in therapy for 8-12 weeks, to keep the tendon tube supple and the silicone rod moving. Then he goes back in for the toe tendon surgery.
Corey's folks are visiting, which is nice because I'm distracted - Rose keeps me distracted too, thanks, woman. We did some shopping while Corey was in surgery, and then last night I did a little sewing of doll clothes, which is a great distraction. I will have to post some pictures later on.
So, yeah, we still can use your good thoughts and prayers.
By the way, this weather really needs to clear up, it's not helping my mood or my arthritis.
