Get Well Soon Ricky
Comments (1) As the title suggests, my Brother-in-Law, Ricky is not well.
On Saturday, he was taken to hospital after playing football, where it was revealed that he has a double fracture of his tibia and fibula. The injury was caused by a vicious two-footed tackle in an Under-16 football match.
We went to see him yesterday in the hospital, where he was in good spirits, despite his leg being encased in plaster along its entire length. The hospital have now let him home for a couple of nights until they can do an operation.
Initally, he was due to have an operation yesterday morning to set the fracture, but due to emergencies this has been put back until Tuesday. So, fingers crossed that it goes ahead.
It is going to be a long recovery, he’ll be in a full length plaster cast for about 5 weeks and then it will be a another 5 weeks in a cast up to his knee. Sad news is that he won’t be playing football until at least September 2009!
Hope it all goes well for you Rick.
