Update on the husband's condition...

So today we saw the 3rd orthopaedic to look at my husband's ankle. The first one was in the ER but we couldn't followup with him since he's out of network and his office refused to make the appointment even though I told them I had out of network benefits. The in-network doctor looked at the CT radiology report and said that he didn't feel confident in treating the condition and sent us up to the University to work with an orthopaedic there. The new orthopedic loved the CT scan, can't believe that the bones are still in place (compound dislocation of the ankle - dislocated in 7 places, but no fractures). We had 3 doctors and 2 interns come in to look at him and the comment was made to one of the interns that this was probably the only time that he would see an injury like this. The end result is that DH is non-weight bearing until the beginning of March.
