My Poor Hubby....Again



Andy's shoulder has been bothering him a little lately, so he decided to have it looked at. He broke his collar bone 2 years ago for the third time, out at the Sand dunes( Death Traps),but the bone never healed right. This of course came after he had already broke it once at the Sand dunes, had surgery on it because it was sticking out of his neck, they put a plate with 8 screws in it back then. Then it healed, but the plate and screws were sticking out of his skin and bothering him, so he decided to go back in and have the plate and screws taken out. Well, since he went back out a few months later and rebroke it, he did not let it heal right. So it was a nasty broken bone that he could wiggle around, and I mean totally move. It was so nasty. So he thought he would just have it looked at, saying that he is only 31 and he has a long life of playing ball with the boys with a bad arm. So he went to a specialist and they said, "lets fix it next week"! So he went in last Monday and had it operated on. They had to rebrake the bone, then put a piece of cadaver bone in the center and put a protein wrap around it so it will grow back together. Then again they had to put another plate with 8 screws back on it to hold it back in place! Let's just say this surgery kicked his butt. He has been in bed, and cannot move or has not done anything all week! We are quite the couple right now,me being almost 8 months pregnant trying to take care of him, and him being pretty laid up. We are both hoping that it will be totally worth all the pain he went through, to have a good arm again. Let's just say we are getting real good at putting those slings on! We'll keep our fingers crossed, Love ya babe!!

Poor Andy. That sounds so painfull. I bet he will be glad though-- he has a lot of throwing ball and playing to do with all the kids, especially with a new one on the way!! Hope he gets better soon. I'd hate to have him not be able to throw drinks at stupid girls or do any of his famous dance moves anymore... :)

Hey I don't think you know me Becca but I grew up down the street from Andy and Natalie when they were kids. I saw your page from some friends of mine and wanted to say hi since I haven't seen or heard from the Farrer's for so many years. Tell Andy I say hi and he reminds me so much of my brother Dustin still. Your children are beautiful and I hope you are all doing well.
