Here is a picture Josh took with his phone when they took his cast off two days ago. This is the metal rod holding his bone together. We were both surprised to find that it sticks out!
He now has a lighter blue cast on. Time for more artwork from the boys….
….somebody gets hurt. A phrase we tell the boys often!
I finally got the time to put up another post and now it is lost. That means you now get the super short summary. The post I had nearly finished was pretty good, but alas there is no time to write it again as it is crazy hectic here.
Friday
Josh took off work. We went to the mountains. Oma and Opa were there too. Josh and I enjoyed date night at a new restaurant while the boys enjoyed Big Mike’s with Oma and Opa.
Saturday
We all went to the farmer’s market and had fun, good food. Josh and I took the boys fishing for their first time at a trout farm. They enjoyed it. Josh and I went to Asheville, by ourselves! We ate the trout for dinner that night.
Sunday
We took the boys and dog for a short hike. We took the boys to Sliding Rock. Sean volunteered to go down first with Daddy. He enjoyed it, until he got dunked pretty good at the end. Why did he get dunked….because Daddy injured his hand on the way down and couldn’t hold him overhead. Josh’s hand had a small cut, finger was sore and swelling already. I took Jack down, he loved it. My butt and foot ached! Ewan chickened out. Boys played in the water. We went to the house, had quick lunch. After quick instructions Josh and I left with Jack for the ER in Asheville. Oma and Opa took the boys to Dolly’s for ice cream and then home to South Carolina. Ewan and Sean spent the night at Oma and Opa’s house. We survived the ER. Josh had a fracture. He got a splint and we headed out for dinner. We got Dolly’s on the way to the house. We packed up very quickly, fed the dog, took her out and hit the road at 8 PM. Got home just before 11. LONG DAY!
Monday
Josh went to the orthopedic clinic after work. He now had surgery scheduled for the next day!
Today
Oma watched the boys, again. I took Josh for his surgery. He now has a rod in his hand. He rested this afternoon. I am exhausted!
So there you have it, a fun weekend……..until Josh broke his hand! Another doctor visit next week to remove the stitches. Another one 3 weeks later to remove the rod. No garage work. No bath duty. The list goes on….
We owe Oma and Opa big time for all their help!
Notice I added another category, INJURIES! Seems we need this!
