Monday… Let’s Find A Doctor

We began making calls and finally ended up at Greater Long Beach Orthopedic Surgery Center (about six blocks away form us).  Dr. Kidd was excellent.  He recommended no surgery but a cast was mandatory for 3-6 weeks!

The splint hid the facts.  We were both surprised when the hand was unwrapped.

With split removed we saw the results of the fall

It’s time for a cast!  Sue selected black thinking that would not show dirt.

Castaway? No, cast away!

The cast went on in about five minutes but alas, the coat should have come off first.  We had to cut one of the seams about eight inches so the coat could come off with the cast on.

In style... As usual!

It took three hours at the doctor so we decided to stop at Hoff’s Hut for a quick lunch before going home and getting ready for Malarkey’s.

Hand is hurting, time to go home!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
