Patchy had his operation and is ok

It looks very sore!

Patchy had his operation and is now starting to wake up slowly. He has been asleep for about 3 1/2 hours, but the actual operation time was around one hour. They have inserted two pins to keep the growth plate and the bone together. The alignment is much better than before but not perfect. To make it perfect, they would have needed to cut a lot more muscle which would have been bad for his recovery.
