Saw that boy out around a week and a half ago. He sounded very positive and upbeat about the surgery. Having it done now during the slow season.

Got him in my Thoughts for a great Recovery

 

[Pointer 78]

The procedure took twice as long as normal to perform. More damage to the acetabulum (hip socket) than they expected. Nothing that some duct tape and WD-40 won't fix. He is in recovery and will be transferred to a room tonight. Will go to inpatient rehab in 3-4 days. I expect him to be non weight bearing for the next 6-8 weeks. He is at North Park Hospital.

Praying for a heck of a great guy!

My wife is a pt and she had hip surgery about a year and half ago. She still hurts sometime still recovering. I know what he is going through. Stay positive.

Jerry was transferred to a rehab facility yesterday and is doing well. I'm sure they'll only be able to tolerate him for only a week or so before they throw him out.
