My uncle, my mums yungest brother, has had a dreadful motrobike accident, and his leg was crushed, and his pelvis broken into little pieces. He has had to have his leg amputated 4 inches above his knee.
He had an op on Friday, which was completed on Monday to his leg, and they are keeping him in a drug induced coma at the moment, to keep him still and to minimize his pain, we have been told that to repair his pelvis, he will have to lie flat on his back for at least 6 weeks. They are hoping to move him to a hospital with staff and facilities to cope with his broken pelvis as soon as he has recovered sufficiently from the op on his leg.
We don't know where that is likely to be yet, but Arrowe Park in Birkenhead and a hospital in Stoke have been mentioned. Arrowe Park would be better for the family, as my aunty has a sister who lives in Birkenhead, so she could stay with her, and we would know that she was being looked after, as she has severe arthritis, and my uncle is (or was) her main carer.
They live in a house at the moment, but we don't know if they will be able to cope back home, so they may have to sell their house and move into a bungalow.
It is all a bit grim at the moment, but hopefully, as the weeks progress the news will get a bit better.
Will keep you informed of his progress
