Jas has been going for his physiotherapy sessions regularly for the past 12 months, starting with 2 sessions a week and then scaled down to once a week but he has to do some of the exercises on his own at home, including some jogging and kicking the soccer ball casually at the later stage.
Jas did not participated in any soccer games or active sports during this period as we have decided to wait until the 1st anniversary of his surgery.
Otherwise, he is doing well in daily activities and he even went on a Tree Top hike in MacRitchie Reservoir with some of his friends during the June 2012 school holidays.
Jas is on the extreme left of the photo, taking a drink from his water bottle during the Tree Top hike.
Jas went to Hong Kong and Shenzhen in Sep 2012 as part of the school trip overseas to visit some companies. Above is a photo of him in Disneyland, HK.
On 1 Oct 2012, Jas went for his progress review by his Dr and was discharged from further orthopedic review.
The Dr also wrote a letter to inform SAF about his surgery that he will need to be permanently downgraded and classify his PES status accordingly.
( Jas has been called up for his medical examination in Dec 2012 and to be enlisted in 2013 for his National Service. )
Jas will slowly resume his soccer and other sports with immediate effect. He needs not wear a sport knee brace and a normal knee guard will be sufficient.
I hope the information shared here would have benefited someone who could have been in a similar situation.
This episode will be considered closed and there will be no further update.
