Oh no.....John broke his hand.

Busy day today.  I stayed home to get the inside travel ready and John went the hospital to sit with Mom Hatch.  Tomorrow was supposed to be our travel day.  Later in the afternoon John went to a friend's shop and broke his hand while drilling holes to mount a tool box to the truck.   That was around 4:45 pm.  He stopped off at the MEA clinic on the way home and had it X-rayed.  It was definitely broken so they referred him on to River Oaks Hospital to have it set.   As you can tell by the clock in the hospital picture some time has elapsed and John was starting to feel the pain.



John waiting for the doctor to come in.  He really needed some pain medicine. 




All done and waiting to be discharged.

Tomorrow he is supposed to see a surgeon to determine if any surgery is needed.  Needless to say, we won't be heading out tomorrow. 

Laugh everyday.  Happy trails.  Stay safe.

  2. Now that's a nasty piece of bad luck. A new learning curve coming up trying to get along with one hand for awhile. Driving is definitely going to be a challenge. All the best with that & here's hoping the hand heals quickly.....
