Good News from the hospital. Plates and screws will fix the compound open fracture and dislocation of her left index finger. Lauren called me an hour after the surgery, groggy but in good spirits. Her mom sent me a text right after the surgery to say the procedure went well. Lauren should get most of the range of motion back in her finger.
Her big concern was whether she could play this season. She is a senior so it's her last year playing college soccer. She thinks if the recovery goes well she will be able to play at the end of the season. She was doing some aerobic training during the three days she was waiting for the surgery and plans to practice as much as possible as she recovers (without using her left hand of course).
She asked the doctor if she could work out while she waited for the surgery. The doctor said, "Yes Miss Type A. . ." and told her the exercises she was allowed to do.
