Miles is less than pleased about this. True, the surgical stun deletes all sensation including pain from both his arms, but it's not considered medically necessary to put him under for the operation, so he has to sit there totally immobilized while a swarm of surgeons - all right, two, but they feel like a swarm - carefully peel apart his right hand and arm to extract his pulverized bones therefrom. There is no hope of piecing them back together into something his body could hope to heal on its own, no matter how much electro-stim was applied, so Miles gives his consent for all the bones in both arms to be replaced by synthetics. The left arm is merely fractured in a couple of places, and is a breeze by comparison. Then they seal him back up, bandage up both his arms into total immobility, and leave him in his hospital bed to become bored and flat. Bored, flat, and in pain. Just because he doesn't have any other broken bones doesn't mean the rest of him is totally undamaged.
He is extremely surprised when his first visitor is not Mother or Linya, but Simon Illyan, a scant hour after the surgeons finally leave him alone.
