Stan, be thankful that modern medicine gives you options (and some hope). Years ago, you'd be crippled up and all you could do would be to sit on the porch with nothing but aspirin.
My mother was in a bad car accident in 1948 and had to wear a brace on her leg the rest of her life. Her one leg was a couple of inches shorter and stiff. (They locked up her knee joint).

I imagine it's going to be a looooong few days until then.
