Joe Needs Surgery

Hi everyone.  Today Rick and Joe went to the doctor's for what we thought might be Joe's last visit to Dr.Kolodychuck. In the xray he said the small bone is healed fine, it's the big bone that has a gap.  So on Wed. of next week Joe gets his screws removed.  If I understand it right, this should create the "give" that the bone needs.  He also has some flexibility issues that concern the doc.  I guess I am asking for prayer for Joe.  This is surgery with a general anesthetic, but it is out patient.
