we would be happy to provide it!!!!!!!!!!!!! not good - 13 hours in the emergency room!!!! (several people that had been there with sick kids finally left after like 8 hours and gave up) For sure we didn't have a life threatening emergency but come on........... finally about 12:30 an we saw the doctor and she put numbing medicine in 2 sides of his thumb and then manipulated the thumb
back into the joint (I have seen some pretty gross things as a nurse but I couldn't watch!! - then we had to have another X-ray which meant calling someone in to do it - so when all was said and done it was $900 out of pocket (which most of it should be reimbursed by our Priority Health insurance should cover........) and a hard splint without use of the hand for one week and then a smaller splint for 2 weeks and then supposed
no sports activity
for 6 weeks - so that's not gonna happen!!!
13 hours in this waiting area and we did make some new friends of about 8 people that could speak English -some were delightful, some were wacky, and several knew the Bellerive family. All a Blessing to pass the time and smooth Canadian/US relations!!!
We didn't get home until 3am and thankfully the Bellerives dropped dogs for us so we didn't have to do that when we got home - in the morning we watered them and then again, thank goodness for the Bellerives, we put the dogs into the barn/kennel so that we didn't have to drop them 5 times a day and risk further hurting Randy' hand!!
Today a big blizzard which I know many of you are also getting - coming out of the trailer this morning knee deep snow!!!
We think that Randy will be OK to train dogs soon (fitted a glove and mitt over the splint) but won't be able to do that till it stops snowing tonite and then they pass the groomer over the trail- so maybe thursday - until then I hope to do laundry tomorrow up at the Bellerives'!
