Three Weeks In, Three Weeks Out

We went to back to see Dr. Yerasimides for the three week visit on Tuesday, 10/28/08.

The first thing they did was to take another X-ray. The first one they had Sam laying down, but the second was supposed to be on his side. Since he is still not able to do that easily, he was asked to stand up instead. When these were done, we waited in room 2 for the doctor.

Dr. Yerasimides told Sam that everything looked great! We had been warned in the hospital that there was a slight risk that the bones may not stay where they had been altered, so we were relieved to see everything better than it had been before the surgery.

Sam was told although he is welcome to try going back to work right away, it would probably be best to wait until the official follow up visit, which will be in 3 more weeks. Sam agreed that this made sense.

So, we are 3 weeks In from the surgery, but still, 3 weeks Out from being cleared.

Here are photos of the new X-rays:
