This is the X-ray of the newly installed plate. The madness of all this science baffles me. How you study medicine and think to yourself “I am going to specialise in one of the most intricate and complexly important areas of the body” is remarkable to me. I mean, I could totally do that, with my eyes closed.
But whatever I will let the surgeon have this one.

We had a rough day as he is pretty uncomfortable and isolated in the ICU. He is not able to move or talk at the moment, but what he really needs is to rest and let the bones heal, fuse and get strong. Being still is not one of my dad’s fortes. I am sending him gluey, healing, cement bonding type thoughts.
We want that plate and bone to become one and the same. Strong, stronger, strongest.
