Title: Man Down
Post by: ST2UP on September 02, 2021, 09:06:13 PM: Just a FYI….

Captain Thunderbolt (Nev) from NSW has had a serious Tractor accident near his property over the weekend.

He has a number of busted bits and had an 8 hour surgery.

Mrs El Capitian Thunderbolt (Maria) advises the odd phone call or txt to Nev would be appreciated particularly as due to our current lockdown visitation is an issue.

Maria will endeavour to get the laptop to him to log on in the near future, naturally he will have a substantial recovery process ahead of him.

Regards

Chris

I hope the recovery and rehabilitation are as short as possible.

Title: Re: Man Down
Post by: PC on December 31, 2021, 03:33:05 PM: Was talking to Nev at the beginning of December and they were both in good health and Nev was heading back to hospital for his next round of rehab the day after
He has been getting around the farm in a side by side buggy he is able to walk a little bit on crutches
I am planning on ringing him in the new year so I will get an update for you
Have a great new year everyone

Post by: PC on January 30, 2022, 05:56:10 PM: Update on Nev
When he went to rehab in December he was able to walk 105 meters when he left he was able to walk 270 meters on crutches
Today he is moving around small distances with out crutches he went for a short ride on the small motor bike but when he got back he thinks he will leave that for a few more weeks
With help to get in the tractor he is then able drive it and make hay for some of his customers
He is slowly mending and is in good spirit
March is his next round of doctor visits

Post by: Biggles on February 03, 2022, 11:29:11 AM: That's very solid progress. If he keeps up that rate the check-up this month should see him turned loose.
