The Broken Old Man

Craig had surgery yesterday to repair the broken clavicle from his motorcycle accident. (Read about all the gory details in Detour Ahead.) I am happy to say that the surgery went well. He is very sore from the incision, etc., but I'm sure that things will improve rapidly from here on out.

Modern medicine is pretty incredible. They put in a titanium plate and screws, sewed him up and sent him home in a total of around 3-1/2 hours. Amazing.

Last night was pretty sleepless for both of us. I'm positive we'll be napping some today. Maybe things will go a little smoother this weekend as the surgery site settles down and starts to heal.

He said that the level of pain is greatly reduced over what he's been through for the last 19 days. Some of the feeling and strength is already returning to his hand.

Thanks to everyone out there who has kept us in their prayers. I'm certain it is making a difference.
