Time For His Checkup

On Friday, March 7 Jack went to Dr. J at Lurie for his most recent post-surgical checkup.

Dr. J commented that his leg looks great in a certain position from the x-rays.  Now, I'm not sure exactly what that means for the other views, but I'm trying not to over think things since the first words out of Dr. J's mouth when he came into the room were, "Jack you're amazing."

Jack had three questions about his visit and I encouraged him to ask Dr. J himself.

Question #1 - Are you going to use a saw when you take out the metal?
     No. No saw.

Question #2 - Are you going to use a screwdriver when you take out the metal?
     Yes he will use a screwdriver.

Question #3 - Can I start learning how to play hockey?
    I think this picture best answers that question


Jack will begin taking skating lessons in April!

As for his next surgery, Dr. J is okay with doing it in August before school starts so that Jack won't miss any school.  The procedure is supposed to be an outpatient procedure.  But with Jack's throat issue, as always, I will pack for at least an overnight stay.  

We will be going back in June for a mini visit.
