Friends & Family,
Mike is out of the operating room. The surgery went just fine.
The doctor repaired the two tendons for the index finger and the tendon for his middle finger (it was 50% severed). Those two fingers will be immobilized for the next 4 weeks. He also got a pin in the last joint on his ring finger. Only the last joint on that finger will be splinted. This is all on his right hand.
The doctor also provided more details on his right leg. It is, specifically, a double break of the tibia, near the knee. Since it is so close to the knee, this is considered a knee break (but not a knee cap break). This break was very clean and all the bones were lined up, so this will not require any further work, other than the proper physical therapy. They will begin bending his right knee in about 4 weeks.
The doctor said that Mike will go home when the physical therapy gets him to the point of being able to make it to the bathroom and the kitchen.
Keep the good thoughts coming. They are working.
Love & Blessings,
karin
