i have a boo-boo

I had surgery 2 days ago...
on my thumb.
I crushed it in the summer time playing ball. The doctors thought it would be good to wait and see how it would heal on its own, splinted of course.
I did not think that was such a good idea because it hurt like a S.O.B. but I listened and was patient.
In time my thumb grew 'new bone' which as my doctor would point out is "unusual". I prefer to think of it as miraculous :o)
Then time passed and my thumb did not heal back to it's full mobility and the doctors decided it was time for surgery.
I was excited because it meant that my thumb would finally be better...
now I'm not so excited.
I feel like crap.
The surgery was a bit over and hour, recovery for a day and then back home.
I had an allergic reaction to my pain meds and have felt like crapola ever since.
The shining spot my husband was Fantastic, taking care of me, holding my hair back, and letting me fall asleep on his warm chest. My kids have been helpful and sensitive, I feel very well taken care of. (which is hard for me to do.... let people take care of me I mean)
So my husband and I are all good, which is all I really wanted to say. I feel very blessed to be with him.
