Sunday turned upside down

Last Sunday, as we were contemplating whether to relax at the ride side or the water park side of Geauga Lake , Michael mentioned that his left foot was hurting pretty bad ( the one he already had surgery on) I was occupied at the time and Mike offered to take a look so I didn't think much about it. Mike mentioned to me that there was some swelling that could have been due to a sprain or something minor . We decided that this was not the best day to be at the park so we decided that Mike would copy some home video tapes that he promised his Grandmother and we would take them to her. As he was doing this, I decided to run to the store for a few groceries that we were in need of.While in the check out line, my cell phone rang. It was Mike and he seemed a bit shook up as he told me that Michael could not stand without pain and that his foot was turning blue. he called the doctor as I headed home. Unfortunately the doctor's answering service answered and the doctor was taking his good time to return our call. Once home we decided on an ER visit. This visit served worthless except to take up a little over six hours of our day. The ER doctor had no clue so we only seen him once for three minutes Finally after x rays looked normal a nurse splinted the foot and we left. The doctor was in surgery all day Monday so we seen him Tuesday . Within a couple minutes of him walking in the room he told us that Michael had torn a ligament. The best treatment was immobilization with permanent compression wrap and the air cast. Michael seems to be doing better but is back to square one with being off balance from the air cast. The good news is that so far the second surgery will not be pushed back. Prayers are gladly accepted .
