So, two weeks ago, or so, my son crammed his pinky into the wall. It hurt, he said "ouch" in about that tone (this being my super-laid back kid). He showed me, I said, "How bad does it hurt?" He shrugged. I forgot about it.
Until day before yesterday, that is, when he showed me he can no longer straighten it. OH MY GOD! And, worst of all, he cannot play the guitar properly.
A minor thing? Not for Kelly. He is quite good at the guitar, but how long did he wait to tell me of this? About a week. Oy oy oy oy... SON!!!!!!!
He would not let me take a picture, but this is what I found pic-wise--similar to his injury, but his injury is to the first joint of his left hand pinky.
Saw the doctor today, got sent to the hospital for x-rays. Now we wait until tomorrow to see what the next step is. I do not feel cheery about shelling out a $500 deductible this month, at all. I'll have to charge it, which annoys me. Well, I already shelled out 100, so now it is 400.
Anyway, we will likely see Dr. Toledo (Holy Toledo!) either tomorrow or Friday afternoon. Surgery would be next week, I imagine--he has finals this week, and we really can't be missing those. Dr. Toledo did my daughter's foot surgery, and was one of the doctors who helped convince Tiff she was meant to go into medicine. :) He's a fantastic surgeon so Kelly will be in good hands.
Sigh, my son. Not only this, but Mumsy here learned that the boy wonder 'slept through' the bus pickup time...and just kinda did not tell me. My punishment originally was to make him clean out the garage on Saturday, but now I can't do that! ARGH!!!! So instead, he is computerless until finals are over, and no friends are allowed over. Neither of which fazes him, as he is the kind of kid who just shrugs, picks up a book and reads. He's always been annoying like that. ARGH!
We also intended for him to finish his driver's ed next week, but now with a damaged, possibly surgeried-upon finger... We'll have to wait and see. At this rate, I won't be car shopping for him until April.
( more rambles and fusses )
Ahh okay, let's go to bed and read now, shall we? Tonight's choice... a marvelous English boarding school mystery, An Improbable Cause, in which Edgar Allan Poe as a child plays a role. First person, wonderfully atmospheric, and bad school boys abound.
I still cannot believe what happened to L. *cries*
Carolyn, DONE!
