This what we’ll be dealing with for the next 12 weeks or more. What you’re looking at is a big white styrofoam wedge, with velcro straps wrapping around two grey zimmers (the overgrown shinguards also known as “knee immobilizers”).
If it’s like the other two times, it’ll be six weeks all the time, and then six weeks at least in bed. The beauty of it is they can come off for showers, baths (in a few weeks when he can have one) and weight-bearing in water (starting in about three weeks!).
I don’t look forward to dealing with this sucker in the middle of the night when Jon wants to roll over. But it is a huge improvement over the A-frame cast we were dealing with 5 and a half years ago…but Jon is a lot bigger.
