Only in Cedar City..........

Ok, so where else do they herd sheep down main street and call it a parade, no where but Cedar City. This was the first time that I've been and it was fun. They had a lot of different sheep wagons, they had some really old ones and some cool new ones too.
I just thought that this was funny, this old classic truck pulling a sheep wagon. Hmmm....









This is what David's hand looks like with the bandage off and before the Doc tried to set it.

This is David and I right after he got out of surgery. I was trying to give him a drink, he almost wore the cup of water.
Here's David after a little bit of morphine feelin kinda good, he can even give the thumbs up. Then it wore off and he was pretty miserable, we are finding that staying on top of the pain is very important and it's hard to play catch up when it's hurting.
This is the x-ray they did while he was in surgery to make sure everything is where it's suppose to be with the plate and the pins. He has the plate on the top and 4 pins holding it in place. David will have a soft wrap for 2 weeks then a brace for 4 to 6 weeks I think. He is doing really good, he is a tuff little cookie.

We are glad the surgery went well and everything's back where it should be. Hopefully he won't be out too long, sounds like Cedar really needs him. I can just hear David in 30 or 40 years...."that broken leg is nothing sonny. Why, when I was your age my hand was nearly broken off and still managed 9 sacks and 5 interceptions!!!" I think I've heard Craig tell me a couple of those whoppers before :) - Jeremy

We are so glad that David's surgery went well, and that he is on his way to be whole again. Hopefully he will be healed completly before basketball begins. Hang in there David...we love you and are thinking of you! :)
