I went in for x-rays today. He wanted to put my cast back on because he said the scaphoid bone is healing, but not healed completely. Fortunately, he reconsidered and said if I faithfully wear my splint day and night and only take it off to shower, I don't have to have a new cast. I go back on April 14 for more x-rays, then he wants me to see a hand specialist when I get back to Utah.
So at least the bone is healing and not dying (I guess that can happen and then it's surgery for sure). My thumb is beyond sore and I will be a complete weakling when I eventually get this splint off, but it's better than a cast!
Work has been pretty slow this week. (Our slowest day is busier than Bountiful was on our busiest day!) We took Wednesday afternoon off and that was great. We are doing well but anxious to head home.
