New Ligaments

Almost nine months later, and Dan is currently in the OR having what is hopefully the last of his surgeries due to the accident.  Today they are removing the ACL and PCL and placing donated ligaments in their place.  The doctor will also clean up some of the cartilage that Dan messed up and is causing the pain in the knee.  The procedure should take about four hours and he will most likely stay in the hospital overnight.  He is anticipating going home tonight and going back to work next week, even though the doctor told him he will be out of work for a good week.  You know Dan, he never listens to what they have to say and always pushes it.  Maybe some of his motivation is due to the fact that Wyatt thinks his dad needs one of those motorized scooters they advertise on tv.  Dan wants to prove to him that daddy does not need that!
