Surgery
The husband broke his finger and had surgery recently, not once, but twice. During the first surgery they put a pin and a screw in his ring finger, bandaged him up and sent him home. They left 3 fingers on that hand unwrapped and the husband used those 3 fingers way too much. After a few weeks we went back to the hand specialist and learned that the screw had come out (my brother loved telling everyone that his brother-in-law had a screw loose). The second time the doctor operated on his hand he did not leave 3 fingers out and told me that he would have put my husband in a full body cast if he thought he could get away with it.
It has been my experience that men do not usually make the best patients, but my husband is really trying to be good. He does not want hand surgery number 3. The moral to this story is one surgery is not fun, but two surgeries in less than two months is worse. If you have to have surgery, do yourself a favor and be still and heal.
Holding hands is a challenge, but I can still hold his thumb!
This is a blog hop. I would love for you to link up and leave a comment!
I am glad he is being good as even 1 surgery would be too much for me. Not holding hands is OK as you have the thumbs or even putting your hand on his arm.
Me too! Ai Sakura!
I know Mary! Thanks for commenting!
Thanks Claire!
Thanks Jessica!
Hope he gets well soon! 🙂
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
Oh no 🙁 hope he heals soon …
Sorry, but this made me laugh!! The comment about the body cast was funny!! Hope he heals properly this time!
Yikes! Hope they recover completely in time for Christmas!
LOL to the screw loose, but poor hubby. What a pain to loose the use of your hand like that. After my recent injury, I started using dictation software instead of typing. It’s wonderful, and often makes me laugh with funny mistakes it makes. Apparently, it was already on my computer we just had to turn on. It might be something worth looking for to help your hubby get through this.
Thank you Diana!
Thanks so much Dominique!

I wouldn’t be game to hold hands in case it lead to a further injury. Sounds painful. I hope your hubby recovers soon.
I hope he gets well soon/
Sending him well wishes–it’s not easy to be still…I completely understand!
What a sweet photo! Get well soon to your husband!
Hope he heals soon! My friend just broke her arm!
