Our good friend Jeremy Goodchild had a freak bicycle accident on the 14th October which resulted in multiple complex neck, facial and skull fractures.
He spent 12 days in Neuro ICU and underwent 2 major operations to repair his shattered face and jaw which was split in half. He had metal plates placed in his jaw and both cheeks. His palate had to be wired back together and he now has a long road to recovery with his jaw wired shut for 4 weeks and a full time neck collar for a further 4 weeks. Fortunately his 3rd operation to repair his skull fracture and to relieve pressure from his brain did not go ahead as both are healing naturally.
The fantastic multidisciplinary team at St George's Hospital have been amazing but likened his injuries to having been run over by a truck than to have fallen off a bicycle.
We thank God that it looks like he will make a full recovery but as a self employeed business owner we would like to relieve some of the financial pressures so he can focus fully on his recovery.
