For those of you who do not know, my husband Matt broke his knuckle on his right hand about 2 weeks ago while playing indoor soccer. He has been walking around, working, cooking, and yes, even playing another soccer game without having it looked at. Finally, this Sunday we went up to the local American Family Care to have it x-rayed.
I probably should not have gone to that germ infested place while being pregnant, but someone had to fill out his paperwork. He couldn't even write clearly! While he was in the back, along with a young man with walking pneumonia, I sat in the lobby hiding my face in my sweatshirt while another girl coughed up both of her lungs. I almost got up to move, but didn't want to be rude. Needless to say, I made it out alive! I went straight home, took my prenatal vitamin and scrubbed myself in a bubble bath.
Well, it was official, a broken knuckle! We had an appointment at an orthopedic on Monday and even got to bring home the x-rays on a CD. They were REALLY cool to look at!
After the orthopedic appointment on Monday, Matt had a surgery scheduled for today at 11:30. He had 2 pins inserted into his hand to reset his finger. As I sit here and write this, his fingers are still numb and it is driving him CRAZY!!! I just hope that when the numbness wears off, he won't be in too much pain. I am trying my best to play "doctor", but Matt is a stubborn man and wants to continue on with everything as if nothing has happened. What a trooper!
As far as the baby goes, he has now turned into the Next Karate Kid! He has begun to kick like crazy and every time I wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (average 3 times-UGH!) he likes to wake up too and start kicking away! Then, we have to stay up for about 10 minutes until he calms back down. He is still resting very low, basically right on my bladder, and my bladder seems to be the target for many of his kicks these days. I have heard that it won't get any better, so I am settling in for the long haul.
I am hoping for a peaceful and pain-free night, but only time will tell. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
