Update on Ryan-2 months post surgery

Last night was the first night I saw Ryan walking and could hardly tell anything happened. He wasn’t even limping!!! He has physical therapy twice a week and is making great progress. We were talking about softball the other night because his team is in the playoffs and one of the guys is on vacation and they are in need of another player. So, he decided to ask his physical therapist what she thought, expecting her to say no way! But, instead, she said, “Let’s take a look at your swing.” Kinda weird they have a bat there, but whatever. I guess he swung so hard something flew off of it and bounced all over the gym, hitting one of the trainers, so she said he could hit, but to not even think about even walking fast. Is that crazy or what? He plays tonight and hopefully, nothing exciting happens!
He also went for his first real bike ride (not at the gym) a few nights ago and was excited to really be able to work up a sweat. Unfortunately, it will be awhile until he is able to anything but the bike. He is still frustrated that it swells and is very stiff in the morning, but overall, he is making a great recovery.
