Surgery

Justin is in for surgery again. He is actually being operated on as we speak. He was in a motorcycle accident this summer and broke his radius and ulna clean in half. His radius has not fused together (odd cause he's only 20) so they are going in again. Justin explained a little bit of his procedure to me. He said it's something along the lines of:

1. The surgeon will be sawing off the dead/not growing bone
2. They will take a piece of healthy bone from his hip/pelvic area
3. They will put the hip/pelvic chunk into his arm (they're hoping this will promote growth)
4. They will have to sand down his ulna so that his wrist matches up properly once the radius has been pushed back together.

Justin didn't sound too excited to have the surgery done, but who would be.

**Update **

Justin is on his way home. Joel informed me that they didn't need to shave down Justin's ulna. They put a larger piece of hip in and sanded it so it was flush with Justin's radius. So, no shorter arm.
