She had to be taken to emergancy. So I ran out of work, got my son and ran to the hospital. Thank God my sister just finished her nursing, summer class yestarday and she was able to meet me there.
Well she has pemrmanet damage to her thumb. It was hanging on her by a thread. She smashed the bone in there and they say she will lose alot, if not all feeling in her thumb and it will have some deformity,sp.
So now she will have this doctor for years he says cause she will be out on workmens comp, need phsical therapy and all that stuff. I hope she wont need surgery

Funny thing is the doc said she didnt bleed alot cause she is a smoke but, he wants her to quit.
Prayers please ladies!!!
***UPDATE****
So yestarday was hard for her, the pain meds made her really sick and she slept on and off. She couldnt even watch TV. So my sister and I called the doctor and asked what we should do. He told us to take her off the pain medication and take 2 etra-strengh tylenol. She feels soo much better then before and slept more last night then the night before, as well. I have been taking care of her doing all the duties in the house, blow her hair out and my son set her hair in curlers, it was cute. Thank God she is able to shower with the one hand, she was cute about that.
I boughther some flowers and goodies that she likes from Trader Joe's yestarday!!!
