Karl made it through surgery just fine... I haven't heard any other details on how he is otherwise, but he is resting in the hospital now. He will likely be in the hospital until Sunday, and then after that he'll have to stay with some friends in Denver until he is healed up enough to move around more and his wife want come get him.
Karl is doing fine this morning. He said that they removed the stent that was in his leg to drain the excess fluids today, and his pain has been much less severe. Before he went into the surgery he was saying that his pain was close to a 9 on the 0-10 pain scale and now it is down to between a 3 and a 4. He should be allowed to leave the hospital on Sunday, where he will spend a week with some friends who live in Denver and have a check-up on his progress sometime next week before his wife is able to take him back home next Friday.
He has a long road to recovery from there, including 2 months of physical therapy and additional follow up surgeries to remove the pins and screws from his leg once it has healed. The doctors said they were able to piece it back together perfectly, and are expecting a 100% recovery. He will be in a wheelchair for the first 2 months. They said absolutely no weight-bearing, so crutches are out of the question.
He would like to thank everyone here for praying. He knows God is in control and has been there with him through all the pain and he is grateful for people who have never met him to be willing to pray.

Karl has been released from the hospital and will have to stay in Denver with some friends for 10 days until he has his follow up with his surgeon on the 17th to determine how his healing is coming and at that time he may be able to remove the staples. The incision on his leg is about 10 inches long and there are 33 staples in it to keep it closed.
He has been able to move around in his wheelchair at the friends house that he is staying with fairly easily and has determined that he is able to go to the bathroom without assistance that made him really excited since he hasn't been able to do anything by himself for weeks.
Once again, he thanks you all so much for the continued prayers.

Karl is not having a very good day today.. He just posted this on his FB, and he's feeling really low... Any encouraging prayers would be helpful!!!
I have quite possibly the worst insurance company ever, as in the past 4 days have told me they will not be paying a dime for my surgery, nothing for my post op care (which means all physical therapy is out of pocket) and then called me to tell me they never received a claim I sent 6+ weeks ago with a SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION (that was signed for) so I have to acquire another ORIGINAL itemized receipt. When the form I had to complete for insurance says they want the original and not a copy, I'm not exactly sure how I can get another original without going to the retailer directly. Yet they gave me a fax number so does that mean they will accept a copy this time? I'm feeling so low and worthless right now like I'm a heel to everyone I associate with. When you combine that with no one wanting to come over and help you when you have multiple associates volunteering in advance. Is it that I'm just not that well liked or is this like a moving day thing and people just don't like to tell you "no" to your face? I also have managed to tick off the person I am staying with during my recovery already. I cleaned up as best I can given I can't carry much or reach above 5ft in hopes of not being thrown out and will pay my share of the utilities if needed. Not a solid emotional or mental day.

Praying for strength, patience, and complete healing for your brother... it is indeed depressing to be dependent on other people for everything, esp. bathroom visits.
I'm afraid that thanks to the chaotic health insurance fiasco we will have to do battle with our insurance companies on a regular basis. Praying for his insurance matters to be taken care of.
And praying for understanding and patience for those who are helping him right now
