Carly went today to followup with her Orthopedic surgeon. She has been going to physical therapy 3 times a week for the past month, so today she went back to see how things are going. Her doc is awesome! He pushed on it, bent it and told her that everything is healing really well and she should be able to start practicing for softball in February. He backed down the pt to 2 times a week and said for her to start pushing it. (this should be fun!) He added that her goal is to be able to bend it so that she can kick herself in the rear. Of course, if its necessary, I can do that for her! :)
Anyway, below is a pic of the x-ray taken today. You can see that its not completely healed, but he said its very close and looks great! Looks like he left something in there if you ask me!
Her Doc apologized for the scar. It was supposed to be about a 3in incision and it ended up about 8inches. Since Carly scars easily anyway it does look kinda creepy. But with her amazing attitude she told him, "That's ok. Scars are just like tattoos but with better stories." He loved that.....
