Well, The following is what happened.......

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a hip problem that begins when part of the growing end (the epiphysis) of the thighbone (femur) slips off from the top of the thighbone.

The fall in Moab brought the issue to our full attention. The X-ray on Friday shows a 2.5" bolt through the fremur into the epiphysis.....when he done with it I'll use it to built a deck......

Pretty stout looking bolt.

John, Glad to see you guys made it home. I really wished we could have stayed longer, but a medical issue trumps most everything else.

We'll touch base later. eh.....
