i hope your odds are much better than that. i hope you heal to be 100% of what you used to be.

Yes, this is the worse part of it.
I haven't been there to speak with the doctor myself, but it seems like the doctor thinks the pain will be much better, but he will lose range of motion. But I think any of us would rather lose some range of motion for a significant decrease in the pain, so it's a trade off he's willing to take, I think.
