A question for those with some medical knowledge. My grandson was involved

6. I have had a number of broken bones, and generally they have two weeks to do surgery.

I broke my leg during covid when surgeries were being shut down and had to wait almost three
weeks for surgery, but it it went well.

There are a number of reasons for a week's delay, maybe medical, maybe due to surgeon availability etc.

I am assuming the surgeon is going to go in and stabilize the pelvis with metal rods, pins or screws.
I have those in my leg, ankle and spine for injuries to those bones and and I am fine.
(I have osteoporosis.)

Despite all of it, during warm weather I walk 2 to 4 miles a day and have no disability.
Your grandson is young and healthy so should do well.

Good luck to him, I know how he is feeling. He is in pain right now and in shock that he cannot be mobile.
And doesn't know how it will all turn out.

He doesn't know it yet, but his physical therapists are going to be very important to him. Once the surgeon
does the surgeon, your grandson gets turned over to physical therapists and they are the ones who will help
him walk again and adjust to post op conditions.
