Glad to hear that he is in good hands . There was talk of amputating my left foot after my crash , as you can understand , I was less than enthusiastic about it . Told them in no uncertain terms that it was NOT an option and to do what they could . The Greenhorn Surgeons that I had , opened up my ankle took one look at it , shat a brick and ended up with a Mr Zahir from Harley Street being called in ...... and I am so glad he was on call that weekend , got an ankle that works to 50% .... and that`ll do for me .
The point I am making is that there are some excellent surgeons out there who will take a look at something like that and agree that it is salvageable or flat out say that it can`t be done . My ankle was described as a loaf of bread being opened at one end and all the slices fell out one by one . The Youngsters cacked it , the experienced surgeon scrubbed up , dived in , built me an Eiffel tower replica inside my ankle and then tootled off home all in a days work . It`s gonna be painful for him , he`s gonna be in a permanent battle of Physio vs Stiffness vs Pain vs Frustration but it will get better for him over time . Anyway I digress , this is the start of the battle for him , let`s hope he wins the start and forges onwards to a good recovery , if there is anything I can do , then gimme a yell
