My BIL Steve came home from the hospital today! He's staying at my MIL's home while he heals. She changed his bandage today and said his poor arm looks terrible, but what can you expect? It's an arm and it's attached again, so it's a miracle. He has what the surgeone jokingly called an "erector set" bolted into his arm to immobilize the bones while they heal. I'm looking forward to visiting him now that he's back home and five minutes from my home - I just wasn't up to the long drive to and from the hospital plus the long walk from the parking garage to his room and back. I felt so bad not visiting, though!
