Warning!!! Do not scroll down if you are at all squeamish...
This is what Clark's thumb looked like about 6 weeks ago (roughly 2 weeks after his accident)...
Gross, right? Well, fast forward 6 weeks (and one SMELLY cast later) and his thumb now looks like this...
The dark part is burnt skin. Apparently it was growing too fast so his doctor poured silver nitrate on it to slow the growth. As if his poor thumb hadn't suffered enough. An x-ray showed that the bone is healing well. Yippee!
We are all so HAPPY to have his cast off and the rods out. Now starts the physical therapy- thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs down...
