From Momma:Â
Chris’ surgery on his leg was done this after noon.
He arrived to his room around 4:00 p.m They cleaned out the infection and replaced the rod in his leg. They didn’t do any plastic surgery today. We haven’t talked with the surgeon yet. We are so thankful he was able to get this done today. He was awake but still weak from the surgery.
He was in pain after but they were able to give him something for that. We are hoping he will get a good sleep tonight. We never stayed too long because he really needed to sleep Aunt Sherry said she would check up on him later tonight during her break.
From Aunty Sherry:
20:30….sleeping
22:40….sleeping until i stubbed my toe against his bedside table(ok, my night vision’s not what it used to be) Told me he was not in any pain, just really drowsy and promised he would go right back to sleep(until the next numbskull came crashing in)
02:20….sleeping and remained that way for the 20 min i sat(quietly) at his bedside.
Will check again on my way out in the morning but all in all, a very good first post operative night…Praise the Lord!

August 1 Chris started his physio they really worked him pushing him beyond what he thought he could do in physio… it was good to see how far he could go but really hard and painful as his tendons are really tight….he did bending fingers (with help) and toes and stretches for his back and shoulder some of which seemed like maybe something was going to break or pop open… but it didn’t just like she told him ‘just feels that way’
