We just got the word from Monarch - After two months (eight weeks and two days) of big, heavy casts -- the first three weeks toe-to-crotch, then a new cast from toe to knee -- Ben is now ALL CLEAR! The cast was removed, he did great, and most importantly, the x-rays show that the surgery was a success, and Ben won't even need a boot going forward. He's done, he's fixed, he's healed, and he's happy about it. Looking forward to seeing him this weekend.
