Staples are out!

Today Gregg had his first doctor’s appointment. I was surprised to hear that Gregg was going to have his staples out! Only six days after surgery! The good news is that his guts did not fall out! :-P I will say that the incisions sure look better with out the staples in!
The Doctor was nice enough to tell Gregg and I exactly what he did in surgery. We were not sure how he got the bone needed from the hip for the femur. What we found out is that he keeps the contour of the hp by taking the bone from the "inside" of the hip. He takes strips of this second layer bone in the hip and pounds them into the femur break that is not healing. He also explains that the tools are quite crude looking, like what you would see an old wood worker would use to carve wood.
We will know in about 6 weeks if is looks like the bone is healing. Until then Gregg will have to keep off of his right leg completely. This means 6 more weeks of using crutches. But we are hopeful that after this Gregg will be back on the road to 100%.
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support!
