This one is for all his football buddies

Pre-op photo op They flapped open the pinky skin, stitched the tendon back down to hold in the shattered bone fragments, then screwed a rod from the tip all the way down the length of his pinky. The rod is currently still sticking out the end of the pinky. It will be removed in 4-6 weeks.
I couldn't make this stuff up.

Other than the finger, he looks good. Here's to fast healing.

So.

How many "metal instruments" has he needed to hold his bones together?

I'm just curious.

Sheri said...

No you certainly couldn't!! Hope he gets all better really soon!

This is just surgery for the injury of the previous post, right, and not a new injury? I hope it heals QUICKLY!

You have got to be kidding me! Remind me to never let Mike play with Brandon! :)

He would be fun to go with through the metal detector at an airport! :)

Hhmmmm...maybe I should make him a cool hospital gown...pastels and dots just aren't very "brandon"...maybe one with little footballs all over it...or motorcycles, or baseball mits...

at home we're all just making fun of him. Get well soon, Paps!

Desertbound said...

Well...At least he's smiling! Get better soon, Brandon! I want to play some Dodgeball!

Which hospital were you in? Maybe we could've scored a BOGO deal?
