Say Hi to Dave

So I went on vacation recently and came home to this. He told me on the phone he was going to have his hand looked at because after a basketball game and one hand "popping" sound later his hand just wasn't the same. After three days of TLC, icing it, and taking alive he realized he needed medical care. He went into urgent care and was told that indeed it is broken. He was soft casted and told to schedule an appointment asap with a hand specialist. So he did and now he is currently wearing this hard, hook like cast that is not something you'd want to snuggle with. Luckily Dave's work accommodated his disability and switched him to the saw, so that he wouldn't be forced to take a leave of absence. Dave told me that since trading with a co-worker for that machine and work station he's been told he's faster and produces better work then than other guy. Very impressive Dave to out do a co-worker on a machine you're not normally working and with your left hand! Dave also e-mailed the basketball league for a credit since this was only his second game. So all is well. I'm just glad he didn't need surgery and that he will be ok. I don't think we realize or rather we take for granted our hands, fingers and arms. This disability has really been an eye opener to how easy we have it. Now I have to make dinners, yuck! I will in the future be more appreciative of Dave and all he does. Good life lesson for me I guess.
