Yesterday Robert had his follow up for his broken hand. He was really looking forward to it because he hand had been heavily bandaged (almost to the point of a cast) and he knew yesterday's appointment would mean he was back in the brace. They took out the stitches for the incision they had unexpectedly had to make and also took an x-ray of the hand. The x-ray showed very minimal healing at this point, which is not terribly unexpected. He goes back again in two weeks for another check, at which point there is a chance he could have the pins removed, but that is doubtful.
One of the things I am so incredibly grateful for is his very, very high pain tolerance. I certainly don't want him to suffer in misery and would give him the prescribed pain medications if needed, but other than the initial night at the emergency room and right after the surgery, he has not needed any. I am so, so grateful that we don't have to worry his reliance on those!
