I guess this could be considered more important than shoes

So Chad finally got surgery on his broken pinky finger. This was over two weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to posting about it. Here's the before shot:


And the after shot:

The surgeon only needed one pin and his ligament was good enough that he didn't have to take a graft from Chad's arm. He did have to do a bone graft, but we're happy with the results.

I never got a photo of him with his dressing from the hospital. He got a cast on Thursday:


I'm trying to convince him to let us sign it. Or at least let Caralie draw something. Here's a close-up of the pinky sans stitches:


Obviously it's still quite swollen and tender. The cast is to hold the brace in place. I won't get a photo of the incision on his arm until the cast comes off. I know you're all dying to see that as well. Guess you're just gonna have to wait 3 weeks. Or 5 months when you consider how quickly I update this blog.
