Dave had another fairly invasive 5 hour surgery a week-and-a-half ago. They had to remove the screws they had put into his sacrum (part of his pelvis) a week after his accident and then plug in some bone grafts and put in new screws. His pelvis had not formed a "bony union", or in other words, it had never healed and he's had a lot of pain in the last 9 months. We're hoping this will be the fix he needs.
The tricky part is that he can't put any weight on his left side for 6 weeks--standing, walking or sitting. He's getting a lot of bed rest right now, whether he likes it or not (and he's sick of it by now), but we're trying to be patient so that it will heal for real (hey, that rhymed!)
