Email from 11.23.09


He didn't write much today because of his broken hand so it was taking him longer to write. He said he wrote some letters that we should get towards the end of this week/beginning of next week. Here is some info from his email:

I am having surgery tomorrow. I’m not nervous from what the doc said this will be really quick and easy. If I didn’t get the surgery they would put me in a full arm cast up to my shoulder for like a month and a half then a half cast for another month and a half. The surgery will put me in a half cast for about a week then a wrist splint for a little while which I can take off whenever I want so there is hardly any down time. It's outpatient surgery. I have the car now because they don’t want me riding on a bike with my arm.

Oh, here is what is broken: Wrist, the bone below my thumb. Alright, so the break is from an old break at Mikes house when I was younger. It turns out that it might not have actually ever healed so it is in the same spot. The doc said that this particular bone doesn’t heal well because of how the blood runs through it.
