My Hand Story

On January 29th I was washing dishes and I cut my hand. I was washing a glass and a sliver broke off while I was washing it. Thank goodness Wayne was home. One of the boys' favorite babysitters ran over to watch the kids and we ran to emergency. I waited 1 1/2 hours to be put in a room then another 30 min. before someone saw me then they decided that It was pretty bad and needed to be taken care of asap. I was washed up and then stitched. It was hard to get the bleeding to stop.

Here is a picture of the glass.
I took this picture after about a week with the stitches when i changed the bandages.



I got to wear a splint for 3 weeks. I couldn't drive, lift, get it wet or take it off. How does that happen with three children. Very carefully and with a great husband and wonderful ward. I was never alone with the children and luckily it was Wayne's week off. Once Wayne went back to work I got to meet many of the women in the ward. That part was awesome. The stitches came out after 3 weeks and then I have a new splint that I can do a lot more things with. I have no feeling in my thumb and so I have surgery next week. then i will have a hard cast for 2 weeks. I am so lucky i have an amazing ward who love my children and family.
