Craig had his surgery this past Monday and it went well. He's got his hand wrapped in bulky bandages and a tube connected to the wound to drain blood, so it looks rather dramatic. I have to change the tube every four hours, but there is significantly less blood at each changing. Today he is able to move his fingers without much pain and he hasn't needed any pain killers today. Tomorrow, he gets the dressing removed and I gather that the doctor will inspect it, etc., and then it will be re-wrapped for another 2.5 weeks. I don't know if he will have to go to the Dr. again during that time. I guess we'll find out at the appointment.
Gabriel is curious as to why he can't play with Dad like before. In fact, he seems to go through several cycles of wanting to play or be picked up by Craig, then remembering that Dad can't do that, then he moves on to something else.
So, all is well. We'll let you guys know how the appointment goes tomorrow.
