D Day...

Can you believe that it has been six weeks since Jamies drama with his finger!? Some days it seems way longer.. like an eternity or two.. though yay for today, its D Day...

We have both been counting down the days until today would come around and this morning... no more sleeps!! We headed to the hospital about midday and have just not arrived home with the best news!!!

WE HAVE MOVEMENT!!!!

It took a few minutes of trying ... (with mummys heart in her throat) to get the movement.. but yep... it twitched.. then slowly but surely... he bent it.. only the slightest bit... but it MOVED... by the end of rehab he had progressed marginly, though... its happening... like they say, it may not happen overnight, but it will happen..
His finger looks rather putrid (not in the dirty, unclean sence either ~L~) though ive been assured that new skin will grow and the colour will return to normal. Please let it be sooner rather than later! Almost gag-worthy. ~L~

Everything went smoothly except for the doctor slipping with the grip of his pliers as he went to pull the pin out of Jamies finger, tearing the flesh at the tip a little.. before the pin was removed.. i probably should say this is done with no anasthetic.. anyway.. Jamie says the doctors lied when they said it didnt hurt..
my man was so brave, even though i could see the tears, he didnt fully cry.. he has decided that the pin must be scrapbooked along with the rest of the ickies from this journey.. yay for mum since she is the one that has to do it.. bleh bleh..

still weeks of rehab getting the finger to move properly.. months of aching as it strengthens... but we have been told as long as he follows the rehab orders of no basket ball or hard tasking, we should have a full recovery in a few months.. yay!!

Thank god that stage is all over!
