Greetings One & All
I'm so glad to day is over. It could've been better, it could've been worse.
Got to the surgery center at 7:45 this morning for an intense game of "Hurry Up & Wait"! They finally took him to a room around 10:00 am. More "HU&W"! Sometime after 11:30 they finally took him away. Rushed up to grab some food & back down to wait for the doctor. He said 40 to 45 mins. It was almost an hour. Talk about starting to panic.
Ok...here's what you really want to know.....what the doctor said:
He repaired Treb's right wrist. While he was there, he checked out Treb's elbow. Sadly there is several torn ligaments. So, he will have an MRI & another surgery. Not sure when that will be. Also, there are some more torn ligaments close to where the broken bones were (at least i think it was ligament, it may have been tendons) that can not be repaired by surgery. Only by immobilization. He goes back in about 2 weeks.
Finally got ahold of his work's benefit department. Bad news, no short term disability. But he does have some sick leave.
He went home with his parents for the night. Someone has to be with him for the next 24 hours. And if he were to come home, i would have to take another day off work. And since there is little to no income from him, I really have no choice but to try to work as much as I will be allowed.
So that was my April Fools Day. I wish at least some of the last week had been a joke, but all is true.

*hugs*
Hope he recovers soon and well
*bear hugs*
He sounds like he will be fine. And we will all be here if you need any help =)
*big internet hugs*
And poor Treb! Jesus, I missed a journal or two, eh? What happened?!
Also *hugs galore for the bad holiday* I had this same trepidation for Patty's.
That's terrible, but on the latter, Im happy he's not permanently injured.
My aunt happens to be in the hospital for a crash on the 17th as well :C So much feels to yall.
