Sunday night . . .






Along with all the fun Sunday night - we had a situation that was . . . not so fun.


Jimmy was untangling fishing line for Vanessa and decided to cut the line with his hunting knife. When doing that, he dropped the knife and it landed on his foot. After a trip to the emergency room, we learned that the knife cut the tendon that controls his big toe. They stitched up the gash in his foot on Sunday without reconnecting the damaged tendon. The earliest he could seet he specialist was on Tuesday. Tuesday he got to go to Marshfield two times, one to see the Specialist and teh second for an MRI. Surgery was scheduled for Thursday. His brother Humberto took him in to surgery on Thursday. He came home casted up to his knee and with a nerve block to control the pain. We get to remove that ourselves on Monday. He is unable to put any pressure on his foot now for two full weeks. His next doctor appointment is Tuesday . . . so hopefully all is well. Needless to say after day 2 he was completely sick of sitting around with his leg up. He's got a ways to go!
