“I’m not the one who put the original time frame on; that’s not up to me to decide,” he said. “What I’m going to do is I’m going to wait until I feel totally comfortable skating. I haven’t even put my foot in a skate to this point. I’ve gotten staples out. I’ve been able to walk without a boot on. It’s 18 days since surgery right now, and who knows, it could be a little bit, it could be a while.”
