I'm pleased to report that Brad is doing remarkably well. In the past few days he has slipped out and actually caught a few summer steelhead (he said he handed them off to avoid injury).
He and I did a little walking around in the coast range last night.
He has had no pain in his leg since he woke from surgery.
He hasn't had a smoke since the surgery.
I think he's going a little nutty at home, but It's really hard to tell with him.
