My husband broke.

So on Friday nights we usually go to my parents' house, where Josh and my dad do jiu jitsu. (my parents have a karate studio in their garage) It's a fun hobby that they both love, and Josh studies it every second he gets. He hadn't been majorly injured yet, just a lot of rug burns, horrible looking bruises, and sore backs, but nothing requiring a hospital visit.

Until Friday night.

I was outside with the boys, who were swimming with their Mimi, when my dad came out and said, "Um Christy? I think I broke your husband..." I walk into the garage and immediately noticed Josh's shoulders looked deformed. Plus he looked weird, like he was about to pass out. I got closer and noticed a large bump coming out of his shoulder, like a bone is sticking out. Not good. Needless to say I took him to the hospital.

Luckily nothing is broken, but it would almost be better if something was! He basically separated his shoulder. From what I've come to understand, the AC joint is what holds the clavicle (collar bone) to the shoulder bone. He separated that, so it's not holding it down and the bone sticking up is actually his collar bone. After x-rays and being in the ER for 3 hours, the doctor came in and said, "I have good news and bad news. The good news is nothing is broken. The bad news is you have to wait till Tuesday and get into an orthopedic surgeon ASAP to fix it." And with that, he left Josh with enough Percocet and Ibuprofen to last until Tuesday.

Not good. So basically I will be calling every orthopedic surgeon on our insurance first thing Tuesday to see who can get him in that day, and hope that he won't need surgery! In the meantime he hasn't been able to go to work...or really do anything but lay in bed. He's being as tough as he can but I've never seen him in so much pain, even walking is painful. He has a brace to keep his arm stable. I had to cut his shirt off of him Friday night and he could barely get his biggest button down shirt on. We took a couple pictures, we have one where it shows both his shoulders so you can really see the difference but I've been instructed not to post that. He didn't even want me to blog about it in the first place because he doesn't want anyone worrying about him. But I am worried so I'm blogging!
