the first year following surgery is the most critical to pay attention to.

I'll answer for him
Yeah, the doctor did lengthen the expected recovery time. But the doctor did lift all restrictions, except he can't drag race and he can't go ATV riding. So basically all restrictions within reason. And two more weeks of therapy, and then he'll be on a home program. But the doctor is saying another 9 to 12 months from now...where before it was about 6 to 8 months from the surgery. Surgery itself was Dec 16.
And now we get to fight over which Mercedes we'll drive that day. lol.
