Wasn;t bad news but not exactly good news either. He seems to think that Doug has damaged the ligaments and tendons that anchor teh knee in place. HE fit him for a knee brace he has to wear all the time, much to his chagrin. Basically told him to use the crutches until they hurt to bad to use, no weight bearing on the leg until the burning stopped. NO SKATEBOARDING. The brace can only come off for swimming which is good for the knee and baths.I have to set him up with physical therapy for the knee for teh next 6 weeks at least. He goes for an MRI on the 14th and back to the doctor on the 30th. Hehopes the therapy will help restrengthen the muscles. But he is concerned because when he has the leg bent and dangling the blood pools in his foot, it gets down but not back up, not a good sign. Plus the fact that he has had his knee slip out of place prior to this incident makes him even more concerned . He feels like we may have to operate. Trusting that God will make that an uneeded necessity...
