The story of a bored individual...

I'm writing a fic. Like my other attempts it will probably never see the light of day, but got inspired and decided to give it a go. 
Anyway, I have a question. How long would someone have to be in a coma for them not to be able to move their arms when they woke up? I've seen different shows where it only takes a week, while in other shows they jump out of bed after a year in a coma.
Question two is the same, but in relation to surgery. How invasive or serious would the surgery have to be for someone not to be able to move more than maybe tehir neck and fingers when they wake up.
When I was a kid and had my tonsils out I was pretty weak for a long while, actually longer than was normal, so I dunno. 

Will continue doing my own research, but if any of you have any idea, or would just like to speculate, please do.

Doggie's out of surgery and back home. They removed the lump and his other testicle, we nutered him some years ago, but they only got one back then, so now they finally got the second one. They also pulled two of his teeth, and clipped his nails. Full service.

He's home now, and they have to keep watch over him. He didn't get the lamp-shade-collar but some kind of special bandage, so my parents will keep him under surveilance, and he should be up and about by the time I come back home. (In 10 days)

There's a new SIN CITY trailer out. I'm really looking forward to that movie now. For the ones who are wondering there are 2-3 small shots of Elijah in the trailer. I've been told some stuff about his character, so I'm really exited to see if he can pull it off. It's released on April 1st in the US, UK audiences have to wait until June 3rd, still no mention of the Norwegian release date, but I'm guessing that'll be in June as well.
