Well I didn't get to talk to the surgeon but I did talk to his doctor that's taking care of him right now. They said he is in a lot of pain and currently having some "mental pain" as well. They have him drugged. He's on a bunch of pain meds so they are monitoring his heart and lungs. I still have yet to talk to him because he is so drugged. The doctor said his therapy can begin anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on how his feels both mentally and physically. The good news is I am going down to California with a friend shortly and I can visit him and help with his recovery. I can't wait to see him. I just hope he finds the strength to pull through this. I'm worries about his heart.
