Great News About Jr.!!!

[ahc4353]

Just got the call with the results of Jr.'s doctor visit.

All screws, rods and fake vertebra are totally fused to his spine!! :dance:

No more brace! He can drive again! Wants him to work on strengthening his core. Some restrictions on movement such as no golf till Aug. and some lifting no no's. But that's it!!



Hockey conversation went like this:

Doc: So how set are you on returning to this whole hockey thing?
Jr.: Silence with a look of you must be F'ing kidding right?
Doc: Heavy sigh with a shake of the head.
Jr.: Well what I wanted to do is take this season to get stronger and put my weight back on and then go back to playing again the year after that.
Doc: Big smile and says, that sounds like a great plan! ( Doc was worried he wanted to go back this season :D)

So, today is a great day in the Clark house and I wanted to share. I also wanted to thank everyone again for their thoughts, prayers and support you have given my family and I since this happened. Continued prayers and thoughts are always welcome.

I think I'll have a cigar tonight. Maybe if I get lucky Jr. will have one with me!

Best,
Al
