4 months is part time!!
I wish him a speedy recovery, doctors routinely paint the worst case scenario, so just see what happens.
I was knocked from my m/cycle and slammed into a oak tree at 30 mph, so I know what he is going through.
I spent 19 months in hospital, the first three in a coma, and was told I would never walk, or at best never unaided, I do and I go to the gym 4/5 times a week, got terrible arthritis as will your dad owing to fractures.
I had broken tib and fib left lower leg(4 breaks), both ankles, both femurs(4+3 breaks), broken pelvis(2 breaks) both hips dislocated, 3 ribs, sternum, 2 lumps missing from skull, lump missing off left side of brain, hole in top of brain, (brain damage), right humerous(2 breaks) right elbow shattered into pieces, which were picked out of tree but could not be used so have some spares!!
Tell your dad just to enjoy the nurses and bed baths!!, I know I did.
I was on a bike within three weeeks of getting out, on wasteland with me crutches, and had no physio at all.
Don't be surprised if his character changes, at least temporarily, depending on how bad/trauma he finds it.
Anyway wish him all the best from me.

Thats nasty but at least he is still here.
I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he proves the docs wrong and is up on his feet and driving again as soon as he can.
Get well soon fella.
