Update on Mark’s injury!

As of July 4th, 2016 it will be exactly 2 years since the wreck.  Obviously, it has been a long road to recovery!  Yes, there is “free” healthcare in the UK but, there are also many loooooong waits in-between Dr. visits.  Mark is still having issues with his subtalar joint.  Apparently, there is a broken piece that has never reattached and is causing much pain and inflammation.  He is still quite active and is mountain-biking a bit but, not at the level he was at before the wreck.  There will be a surgery at some point to hopefully correct the issue but, who knows when that will actually occur!  Overall though he is doing remarkably well and is now in the process of rebuilding the Tiger that tried to kill him so he can tame the beast finally!  I am including the X-rays of before and after his leg surgery so you can appreciate what he experienced!  Enjoy!

Before!

You can see the spiral fracture where his foot was spun around backwards and slightly to the left of the “R” is where the bone protruded from the skin!

After!
