Sending healing hugs to the both of you
. I am so very sorry to hear that your hubby's bone graft isn't healing as well as expected. I have been away from YT for a long long while recovering from my own major leg surgery so I'm not up to par with your hubby's problem. But if the bones aren't healing you might consider consulting with a doctor that specializes in severe bone trauma. If you are working with such a medical team, then perhaps the following link will be of interest to both you and your doctors.
Mission: POSSIBLE - William D. Terrell, M.D. I can tell you that Dr. Terrell worked miracles on my left leg. It is now nice and straight and is the same length as my right leg and now I have no metal and/or screws to cause future problems.
