Out of the Doctors mouth this morning....

"Oh my Chief, we can't operate on that until the swelling goes down quite a bit."

It was so swollen that blisters were forming so that the liquid had somewhere to go. eeewwww. Plus if he had the surgery now there would be no skin to sew back together, it's just not a pretty sight. Not at all.

I'm sure it doesn't feel to pretty either, sorry honey.

Doc said he was on strict bed rest until Wednesday when the surgery is scheduled. No moving except quick trips to the loo. This next week is going to make him go insane, and quite frankly I might just go there with him!

He'll have 2 rods and some pins in his leg forever, but hopefully by doing that the ligament will fix it's self so that Hub won't need a round two with the surgeon.

Best case scenario after surgery is 6 weeks in a cast and then gradually walking on it again, with lots of Physical Therapy.

The pictures really don't do this justice. It's hard to get a good view of the bruising, plus he was trying to swat the camera from my hand the whole time. He banned the Flip video camera before we even left the house, but he forgot about the "real" camera!

**eta, the silly pictures won't upload so I'll have to share those with you later.**
