Wednesday morning my Dad was injured at his work. Mom called me about 730 in the am and said we needed to get to the hospital. Dad peels carpet padding and his machine broke and while he was fixing it it caught up his hand and crushed it. He bled lots he said and thats bad for him to say!
They were stitching him up once we got to the ER and then they took him for xrays. Once they got the xray back the doc came back in and said we have to put the IV back in and admit you. He crushed 4 carpal bones. It took them about 9 hours to figure out what to do.. and that was to transport him to columbus because the ortho doc from our town said they couldnt even begin to fix the damage done.
So the ambulance came and got him there and surgery ended up being about 2 hours and 8 pins in his hand later. He came home from the hospital today with the doc saying it was a very severe injury and the pain was going to be terrible, and short of stopping him from breathing he was gonna hurt like hell even with the mega drugs they are giving him. PT and lots of care and he should be back to normal in a long while.
So say a prayer for us over here if you pray.. we need the good vibes :)
lots of love n hugs xoox
