Thank you all for your kind wishes. They brought a smile to his face.

So long story short – he is out of the woods and on the way to recovery. His spirits are good and he is willing to work hard at the rehab so he can get home ASAP.

The leg bone repair went well and they were able to recondition and leave in place the old hip implant and avoid a lot of reconstruction, and pain and possibly iffy results when bone has to regrown into new equipment. So even though it was a big surgery the hip implants themselves are securely bone anchored and that will shorten the recovery time.

They got him standing up on his feet twice this morning, with his good leg just touching ( not load bearing). Walking is planned for tomorrow. On Sunday morning he is being transferred to a skilled nursing/orthopedic rehabilitation facility. I don’t know how long he will be there – I’m imaging a least a week but I really don’t know yet.

Give Gary my best, please. Not that anybody wants one, but hip replacements are very successful. I know a LOT of people who've had them and they're all pleased as well as relieved.
Can't wait for him to get back to us.
