Hi all, im nat, lukes wife,
I just wanted to pop on to let you know that luke wont be around for a while. Around 3pm this evening he was involved in quite a serious motorbike accident. The good news is hes alive and concious. The bad news is hes broken his left leg in three places. Hes still in theatre at the time of posting so ill try to keep you updated. They are going to put his leg in an external fixation to keep the bones in place.
Keep you all updated
Nat

Thanks all,
Ive been to the hospital today again and have more news for you all. Luke is still on HDU at the moment and they have no immediate plans to move him until after the weekend. I saw the xrays today of his injuries and to be honest i was shocked at how bad they were. Hes broken his femur in three places and his tib and fib are pretty smashed up, the surgeon described them as shards of glass. The surgeons are planning on doing another major op on monday or tuesday. They are going to pin his thigh bone, which is pretty straight forward. His tib and fib are going to be plated and pinned, and hes going to have a full scaffolding frame to the lower half of his leg. The doctors have said they dont expect this to come off until summer 2010. It looks like he wont be home for christmas, were both pretty gutted.
Anyway, just a few pictures for you all.
