He injured hip in a truck accident in Sudan in 1978
This was actually a surprise to me. He appears on the young side for this type of operation but I guess the accident is what precipitated this.
In any event - I hope the governor has a speedy recovery and is back on his feed to resume the operation of the state.
BOSTON - Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is resting comfortably after undergoing hip replacement surgery to alleviate pain from arthritis and an injury he sustained three decades ago.
Dr. Harry Rubash said in a statement Tuesday the 53-year-old Democrat underwent a successful 2 1/2-hour operation at Massachusetts General Hospital. Rubash, the hospital's chief of orthopedic surgery, said Patrick is expected to be hospitalized four to five days, followed by a "few weeks" of outpatient rehabilitation.
Patrick has handed over power to Lt. Gov. Tim Murray for a couple of days.
