Doctors are happy with his operation. Bone was grafted FROM his hip to support the two top vertebrae using titanium screws. Stuart is back in Musgrave Park Hospital, whizzing around in his wheelchair, HAVING regular physiotherapy and is wearing a soft collar.
Today they had him standing up on his bare feet. Stuart reckons this is the start of the path which will bring him to his goal of umpiring.
He was bright and cheerful, as always. Somehow a visit to him is quite uplifting.
Went to visit him tonight.
