Wednesday 6/13 - follow-up tests & healing
Last week I had follow-up tests (MRI, lung CT, and hip x-ray) and got the results: no sign of recurrence! Both doctors were also very pleased with my progress in recovery. In fact, Dr. Morris said that 2 of the 3 areas connecting cadaver bone to mine are already fully healed-- which means I can start to put weight on my leg at a slightly faster rate than expected. I'll be going back in two months for another set of tests and, if everything looks good then, I should get the OK to use only one crutch. While I briefly had them both in the same room (that's never actually happened before), they indulged me in getting a group picture: On the left, my surgeon, Dr. Morris; on the right, my oncologist, Dr. Meyer. Great team.
