Hey LazyBoy I've got some big magnets I use for welding and can get some iron fileings so maybe a home made MRI? I was always really good with those Wooly Willy boards. ;)
The leg is healing just fine, Doc says the alignment of the repair is perfect and he's hoping to be off his crutches in early January. The right shoulder is still a problem even though he has gained back range of motion in the shoulder but those motions are still painful. He is scheduled for an MRI on Jan 7th for the shoulder so hopefully we will know more then.
Hopefully the last update in this thread. Troy had another follow up today and can ditch the crutches and return to full weight bearing on his leg. Results on the MRI on the right shoulder showed a serious case of inflammation and tendinitis that the Doc feels is just going to take time and PT to get rid off but no rotator cuff tears which means no surgery thankfully.
