Randy was scheduled for surgery early this morning and everything went very well. It only lasted about an hour and no complications. They didn't have to do any grafts! The surgeon was able to reconnect both the tendon and the skin without cutting anything else. He said that it is going to be tight, and he might not have complete range of motion, but it was a much easier fix than was expected.
I got some pictures to make up for none from the ER. Here's the "before" pictures:
And here's the "after". Randy was so adorable asking the same questions again and again. His nurse, Janet, was so patient and answered all of his questions. I have so much respect for people who can do jobs like that. She did her job very well!
Check out Randy's styling blue socks! They looked good with his sandals.
We set Randy up on the sofa with his pillow and ice packs. Justin wanted a pillow and ice pack too! (He is just wearing his diaper because he had an accident at therapy. He did great the rest of the day going to the bathroom though.)
Randy is starting to get feeling back in his hand and it's not feeling very good, but the pain meds are helping. He goes back to the doctor next week to see how he's healing. Thank you for your prayers. Randy's doing fine!

So glad surgery went well. Danielle, your family is so blessed to have you. You are a wonderful caregiver, although I know your preference would be to not have to use your skills so often in such big ways! :-)
Thank you! Yes, I wish we didn't have to do this, but we're going to make it. Randy's a great patient too!
