He didn't have the surgery until late yesterday afternoon but when the surgeon called last night he was confident everything went well. His ACL in the right leg wasn't torn and there wasn't any arthritis in either leg. He still carries his left leg but the surgeon thinks the surgeries will be successful once the right leg heals and the hardware is removed from the left leg. Hopefully he will be back to running and chasing squirrels and birds in no time. |
Just curious, why didn't the surgeon just do both legs at the same time back in April? Also, why didn't he fix the LP and ACL at the same time on the left leg?
