Ouch!!! That Hurts!!!

Today Susie attended her inservice at school, and after some heavy work, the administration decided it was time to go to the gym and do some fun group activities. Well the first activity was to do a basketball type of relay race. While Susie was doing it for a second time and actually a third time, filling in for a pregnant teacher, someone zoomed past her traveling at a perpendicular path to hers and wham!!!! She knew right away her finger had to be broken, but she went to the Texas Med Clinic to get it examined and to get X-Rays. Yep!! She was right. It was broken. And they couldn't really do anything for her there because she has to go to an orthedpedic doctor to fix it. Luckily she has one. Go Figure. ANyway here are some of the pictures we took during our 3 hour stay at the clinic. They did call me from school to let me know what had happened, and I met her at the clinic. She actually drove to the clinic herself. What a trooper.

This may be a tricky question for some, but the question is, "Which hand has her broken finger?" Can you really tell?

Another tricky question, "Can you tell which finger it is? It's hard when more than one finger may look crooked and could be broken, but only one actually is.

Look at the picture below to get the answers to the two questions. You can see the first aid that was given to Susie at school. Ice pack and a wrap to try to imobilize her left pinky finger.

She was taken into the Trauma Room after about an hour of waiting.

Drama in the Trauma Room.

OUCH!!!!!

Doctor finally examines finger. Sends her to X-Ray.

X-Ray shows break. It is the bone between her knuckle and her first joint. It's the area where you would wear a ring.

Temporary Fix until she can go to the orthopedic doctor.

Temporarily fixed up and ready to go home after about 3 hours. Then it was a lot later when she was able to get her pain meds prescription filled at the local Walgreens.

It's about 10:30 pm, and she is resting comfortably. But tomorrow she'll probably be going to work. Don't worry I'll not be her right hand, but I'll try to be her left hand or her left pinky finger.
