well, the doc unwrapped the left wrist today and was very happy with the way it has progressed. ...sydney said it looked pretty funky, skin is kinda stitched on, but she said the doc is very happy with his work and that is the very good news. . .he also re-wrapped it in a way that she has full use of that hand now, no splint restrictricting motion so she was quite happy about that!! ... .as for the right hand/wrist, he decided not to even take a look at that one yet. ...this one was the worst of the two, and i guess, given how the left one is progressing, he decided to give the right one two more days to continue healing as is. ... so he will wait till wednesday to take a look. ..but he is still confident that things are on the mend. ..and he was also happy with the way her thigh is mending. . ..sydney said that while her thigh still hurts she was able to walk up and down the hallway last night and this morning, so that was making her happy as well. . . so things continue to move in the right direction. . ..

and as always, she says continued thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers. .. .

oh yeah, and as only my kid can do/say .. . .she was 'jawing' back and forth with one of her nurses yesterday (you have to picture this great, new york nurse with a very terrific, caustic, sense of humor. . .and the two of them going 'toe-to-toe' on some inane subject. .. and the nurse said something at some point like "hey sydney, you get it yourself", and sydney's response was (and it wasn't said in a weeping/sad sort of way, but in a bold, typical sydney brash fashion) "hey, i DIED, gimme a break here". . .totally cracked the nurse and me up. . .my wife on the other hand, about fainted. ...but the nurse didn't back down an inch. ..her response was "well, your alive now, so get it yourself!!" ....gotta love that kind of attitude! . ..

    Max & family,
    Glad to hear that things continue to progress in a good direction. Based on that exchange with the nurse, I'm thinking that, somehow, Sydney must be related to my wife! :ermm:

  • Thats wonderfull... And with Sydney's humor, you can be sure she is on the mend and going to have a complete recovery.

    She will remain in my prayers.

    That is Great news Max, I'm so glad to hear it and if she is getting spunky she is surely on the mend. I'm sure it will continue to go well but will still keep my fingers crossed for her

    Tell Spawn to keep on giving the nurse a bad time, sounds like a good thing for the both of them. It's nice to have someone to jokingly jab at. :woohoo:

    Me Best to all of you.

    lol It is so cool reading these posts and hearing all about her progress. I really got a chuckle on the "dissucion" with the nurse. I have a good friend who is a nurse. he is about 6 foot 3 and 350 pounds and bald as a Que ball. that is eggsacly what he would have said to her! maybe even a bit more colorful!he is a dream nurse and every patient loves him to pieces. He has even gone toe to toe with a few DR. when there was something he did not like going on. the nurses are there 24/7 and see everything. not just looking at the chart. (no slam here to any DR intended)it is like a mom with their kids. we just KNOW LOL the first thing I thought of when this all started was to bad Al was not there she would love him! oh and he is a hooker too! LOL
    hugs to you all and I can just picture your wife as this all unfolded LOL

    Glad she's doing so well - and keeping her attitude (good sign).

    We will continue to pray for her complete healing as well as diminishing pain.
