He's had three corrective surgeries not including the initial night in the OR after his arrival at the ER. For a long time, it developed an internal infection, and they tried to wrap the bones with an antibiotic-infused mesh and give daily injections. Then the largest of the two pins (and 13 screws) broke. At 70, he's fairly active around the house and drives everywhere, and he feels like he's been tied down for 18 months when he could have taken a couple of months to learn to walk on a prosthesis and get on with life. I know it's been driving him crazy, especially since mom doesn't drive and my sister who still lives there works nights and therefore can't help much.
