Off with the dressing/cast that was put on during surgery. 
More incisions & stitches than last time.
Xray of before, see the longer bone in the thumb, the smaller bone under that is what was removed.
It is a bit hard to see but the xray on the right shows the
space where the bone is missing. It is not really an empty
space as the tendon that was taken out of his arm is circle
up in that space but does not show up on xray.
Back home with the new purple cast. I told him he is matching his shirt.

Wow, that's a lot of incisions and stitches!! Did the surgeon say why there were more this time? I like how you can see Dad's wedding band in the "after" x-ray. :)
Hope he heals up really well. :)
Purple this time. Sure is a way to get to try out lots of different colors of casts!
