Oops

Hmmmm  . . . Ithought reffing hockey for the last few months we were in a cold climate would be a good idea.  How wrong I was!!

On Sunday night I was working a bantam game, hooked a skate blade in a rut in the ice, took a tumble, and as they say, the rest is history.

I landed wrist first and knew immediately that I was in trouble.  I got the first good look at it in the ER and could tell it was seriously out of line.  The xrays showed multiple fractures.  They splinted me and referred to the orthopedic surgeon.

The CT scan yesterday showed five fractures in three bones.  Surgery is scheduled for right away tomorrow morning at St Mary's in Rochester.  They have told me to plan on staying tomorrow night to help with pain control (I'm good w/ pain control!!).

The good news is that the projected recovery time is 6 weeks.  This will still give us 4 weeks before we leave for our mission, so I should be good.

Please pray for the medical team, for my healing, and for the family's peace during this trying time.
