He looks pretty good doesn't he? We need to work on that beard though.
He says he wants to look like ZZ Top.
We're having a hard time keeping him down.
He thinks he can do more than he can.
The doctor said NOTHING for 6 weeks.
Minus the 73 staples but it's still oozing some so we keep a loose bandage on it.
Here are the leads for the bone stimulator. They are stuck on and changed every other day.
Here he is ready to get dressed. You can see the brace and stimulator. The brace is on during his awake hours (he has a very light weight one for sleeping). You can also see the leads going into the battery pack for the bone stimulator. The doctor opted for the external 24/7 one. He didn't want to put any more "hardware" inside. They could have used a larger stimulator that is worn only a few hours a day.It does make it hard to find clothes to wear over it all though.
On a side note I got this idea in the hospital to take the hospital slippers and attach a shoe lace to look like a shoe for the kindergartners in Thomas' class. All they have to do is slip it over their shoe and practice their shoe tying.
Now I'm working on a vest with zipping buttoning and snapping.
