Dislocated thumb


About a week ago I was picking Conner up and I felt my thumb pop. It didn't hurt so I keep going. Every time I picked him up my thumb would pop. Finally of a week of popping and by now there was pain I went to the doctor. They took an x ray and there it was my thumb had popped out of it socket. The doctor gave me two numbing shots and popped it back into place. I was so glad my dad was there to hold my hand. They put a brace on and the doctor told me to not use that hand. That's hard since I'm right handed and it was my right hand. The brace was making my thumb hurt more if I did anything with it. Since I stay home with three kids the doctor put a case on it so I could do the things I need to do and my thumb can heal right. So now I get to wear a purple cast for two-three weeks then a brace for one week.
