Well, again, thanks a ton for the prayers, thoughts, notes, and calls over the last couple days. Jess and I truly appreciate each of them, and it's been an amazing picture of the body of Christ, surrounding us in love, and lifting our spirits. We are humbled by you, and thank God for you.
Today we headed to see the doctor, and here's the official word on the left wrist: one hairline fracture running up the bone a bit from my wrist, with the possibility of a second shorter one next to it. But the kicker is that about a centimeter of the tip of the "wrist bone" (radial something) broke completely off and rotated a bit, taking some of the surrounding tissue with it. What does that mean? Glad you asked... it means that 1pm Wednesday I'll be having a little surgery to clean it up, replace the bone, and insert a screw to hold it in place. Yuck. But after a quick stay in the hospital that night, should be smooth sailing ahead. Please pray for well-guided hands and no after-effects!!!
BUT, as much as I don't look forward to Wednesday, I'd much rather have a wrist problem than what could have been. We went to see my car today, and in the words of the guy who towed it,

Ok... so those pics are a little chilling. I am very grateful that all you have is a broken wrist- as I am sure Jess and your mom, dad and sisters are too. Where is your surgery? Mom and I are working at Cook's on Wed,so if it is next door we can come see you when you get out. Just be glad it's not both wrists this time, otherwise you'd be double casted again.

oh my jebus. What a blessing you are still up and about and breathing! seriously dude. glad you're safe.
Maybe now you get why we're all white knuckled when you are in the driver's seat! Glad to hear you are okay and the surgery will be minor. Just remember that no surgery is every 100% safe, so be sure to tell your loved ones you love them and take care of any bad blood that might be out there. Just in case you don't make it, I love you.
