Update : My Husband Francis


Hi all, I'm not sure who knows and who doesn't so I'm just emailing everyone.
 
On Friday 18th July, my Husband, Francis had a very bad Motorbike accident. He was travelling up Sparks rd and swerved to miss a car that crossed the road infront of him. He ramped his Yamaha R6 up an anthill and launched it 2m in the air, it travelled approx 10m airborn and summersaulting until it hit an elecrical box on the side of the road. His bike was broken in two and Francis came to land about 2m from the bike on his back.
 
He has a broken collarbone, multiple grazes, bruising and soft tissue damage to his back and legs. His Femur Tip (ball joint at the top of his left leg) is fractured and may need to be replaced. His pelvis is damaged, with his leg pushed up into the pelvic girdle. On Monday he is going in for a CTG scan and then the Specialist (one of the best) will plan for his reconstructive operation on Tuesday. He will be hospitalised for at least two weeks and it will take a few months for him to walk properly. He wont be able to drive for a while.
 
To everyone who has looked after us (Sav and I) a big THANK YOU! I couldn'tve coped without you all. Francis is positive but in a lot of pain, he has sent a THANK YOU as well.
 
 
Please note - he is at Entabeni, Fyfe Two ward, he has asked for any visits to be between 5:30-7pm weekdays and 2-3pm weekends - so that he can rest.
 
 
Much love.
 
Sands
