They are in!

Just heard from the doctor and after  5 1/2 hours in OR Dan is done!  

The doctor believed it was just the 2 ligaments that needed to be replaced, but said they would not know for sure until they actually get in there.  After poking around today they confirmed it was just the ACL and PCL that needed to be replaced.  The other two ligaments repaired themselves fine.  Dan did mess up the cartilage, but they were able to clean that up.  The doctor said "he has arthritis in his knees now".  Maybe Spike will share his glucosamine with Dan.

I will head up to see him soon, and if Dan really feels as though he wants to go home tonight, then they said they would let him.  The most important thing is that he keeps that knee completely straight for the next four weeks!
