James' Drs. appt.

James went back to Dr. Chen yesterday to get his sutures taken out. He had 16 sutures to have removed. That went well. No problems. Then Dr. Chen came in and looked at James' range of motion. Dr. Chen is not happy with his lack of range of motion. They say the first 6 weeks is what determines your motion and after 6 weeks it is pretty set in that range. So Dr. Chen sent James to a hand therapist 2 days a week for 6 weeks to help get that range of motion we need. Usually with an elbow surgery they don't do any therapy but he needed it. They also took 2 X-rays to determine everything was in place and looked good.
