He was still using crutches.
Prior to his soccer accident, we have made arrangement to fly back to Penang to visit his grandparents who were not well.
The Dr approved his travel plan and also gave us a letter to certify that he just had an ACL Reconstruction Surgery in case the metal detector goes off though it was not expected to ( there is 1 screw placed to hold the replacement ligament ).
Luckily, Jas was in good shape and mood to travel with his crutches and we also brought along the ice gel for his knee swelling.
We got him a wheelchair to minimize his walking on the crutches in the airport.

Well, this is how his knees were after 1 month of recovery.....
You can see that the swelling on the right knee has gone down and you can see the shape of the knee cap now.
Jas started to use only one crutch on 8 Oct and totally walked without any crutches on 11 Oct 2011.
We bought him a knee guard to help stabilise his knee joint as he has to walk up a slope to get to his classes in his school, which started classes on 24 Oct 2011.
It was most unfortunate that he has to spend the last month of his school holidays recovering from his knee surgery but then, it also meant that he did not missed any classes.....
