PWC, Guy recovering
http://www.facebook.com/xcmag/posts/10151028954089103
Im just back from seeing Guy in hospital, he is doing just fine
and is in great spirits, his usual jovial self. He has a stable fracture of the pelvis, 6 broken ribs, a broken humour (at the
top near shoulder), a lacerated kidney and cuts and bruises around his face.
They have not operated on his shoulder yet as they have to wait for the swelling
to go down, they expect Thursday. Everything else will heal in its own time and
is not serious. In the meantime he is enjoying some great pharmaceuticals. He had an epic experience, to put it mildly. Two nights out in freezing
conditions enduring thunderstorms, rain, severe pain, hallucinations and moments
of delusion. He was not at his wing when we found him, after the first night he
decided to get himself out and managed to walk with all the above injuries about
2 miles in 2 days through pretty difficult terrain. He was in a bit of a state
when we finally found him from the helicopter, walking with the aid of a big
stick making three inch steps with clothing draped over his head and his arm in a
makeshift sling. He had water and i am confident he would have kept going for
another few days and saved himself without the massive SAR operation.
