kevin's ankle

he went back to dr. for 1 wk checkup & xrays. dr. showed me on a skeleton where kevin broke his ankle....he took off the bottom piece of the long bone, where the foot hinges in. a very crucial part, absolutely vital for weight bearing. he goes back in 3 weeks for xrays & to see dr. it should be healing by then. Dr. expects that after 6 weeks, he might be able to start putting weight on it. the ankle is a long way from the heart....less circulation=slower mending.
