Here ya go... :)
The Governator is recovering nicely after undergoing surgery Tuesday at a Los Angeles hospital to repair a broken leg he suffered while skiing over the holiday weekend.
"Following the surgery, the governor was awake, alert and talking in the recovery room," orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Erhart said in a statement. "He is now fully coherent and I have cleared him to resume his duties as governor."
According to the Santa Monica-based doctor, a combination of cables and screws were used to "wire the two main fragments of the governor's broken femur bone back together." The "relatively common" procedure lasted about an hour and a half, and the post-op X-rays "look great."
Erhart has treated Schwarzenegger before, after the T-800 injured his shoulder while filming Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003.
Schwarzenegger, 59, will have to stay in the hospital for three days and it will take approximately eight weeks for his right leg to heal, during which Arnold will need crutches, Erhart said, but he won't be wearing a cast.
The beefy official, who's scheduled to be sworn in for a second term Jan. 5, was on vacation with his family in Sun Valley, Idaho, when he injured himself Saturday.
Ski instructor Adi Erber, describing it as a "freak accident," told the Los Angeles Times that Schwarzenegger was about to take on the last 200 yards of a run on Bald Mountain when his ski pole got caught in one of his skis.
"It was the last run down," Erber, a fellow Austrian who was with Schwarzenegger when he fell, said. "He was trying to take off again and he tripped." The duo had been skiing for about two hours before it happened.
"I've skied with him for 18 years," Erber said, predicting that the governor will be ready to hit the slopes again in no time. "He's an expert skier."

Schwarzenegger standing during ski accident: report
Arnold Schwarzenegger's leg-breaking ski accident proves he is hardly as indestructible as the 'Terminator' he played in the movies, and an eyewitness account of the mishap suggests he's less coordinated, too.
A ski instructor who said he was with the California governor when he fractured his thigh bone last weekend told the Los Angeles Times that Schwarzenegger was standing still just before he fell, not racing down the slopes as might be imagined.
The instructor, Adi Erber, said that as Schwarzenegger, 59, prepared to descend the final stretch of a ski run last Saturday, his ski pole got caught in one of his skis, causing him to trip and fall in what Erber described as a 'freak accident.'
According to Erber's account in the Times on Wednesday, the Austrian-born former bodybuilder and Hollywood action star was in pain and had to be taken down the hill by a rescue team on a toboggan.
The newspaper also quoted an unnamed friend of the governor who spoke to Schwarzenegger after the accident as saying Schwarzenegger was 'aggravated' by what happened and described the accident as a 'slow fall' on an icy surface.
Erber or others at the ski school at the Sun Valley ski resort in Idaho could not immediately be reached for comment. And the governor's office declined repeated requests to disclose details of the accident, saying only that he had broken his leg while skiing with family on vacation.

You're right I'll go with arms of 15", for the uncoordinated governor who managed to break a huge thigh bone by tripping over his skis, not even skiing downhill. ;D
-
He can't ski or ride motorcycles all that well anymore evidently. He sure fucking rules at everything else though. fuck...can you think of a more well-rounded and accomplished person?
