Chancey's surgery

Chancey had surgery this morning to repair the tendon in her right thumb. Yes, this is also a basketball injury! She jammed her thumb back in May at Basketball camp and the doctor thought it was just a sprain. Well when Volleyball started it was killing her and would swell up everyday. So we went to see Dr. Crane (he was gone when she originally hurt it), he discovered that she had damaged the tendon on the outside of her thumb and it had healed wrong. Dr. Crane said as long she could stand the pain she could finish Volleyball and play Basketball and then she could have surgery to repair it. Surgery was the only way to fix it!
So this morning @ 6AM in a huge snow storm we headed for the hospital! Dr. Crane said the surgery went great. She now has a screw in the bone of her thumb that holds her tendon tight and in place. She will send the next 2 weeks in a splint and then 6 weeks in a cast, then a little therapy and hopefully she is good to go again!
So Christmas break is laying on the couch, watching movies and recouping!!!
