Surgery was done at 7 AM and took 4 hours. He's heading back to his room in about 45 minutes. Everything went well; the doc said one of the reasons it took so long is that his bones were so strong and he was so fit, that it was hard to manipulate/move stuff around. Lots of plates and pins. No real idea of recovery time, other than he will be going into rehab unit at the same hospital in about 2 days and will be there for at least a week, maybe two.
