Can you help out a fellow rider?
Jonathan is a great guy and great coach and has a one year old daughter.
In August 2024 Jonathan had a Derotational Femoral Osteotomy Operation. Which has never actually fully healed properly. And leaving him Semi Permanently Disabled. (Unknown long term damage).
There is a couple of hypothesis why it has never knitted back together.
After his 6 week check up at the hospital, his bottom screw wasn't in the hole it was supposed to be threaded too.
Instead it was dangling/grinding between the bottom of his Femur the top of his knee cap for well over 6 weeks.
Â
He's also found out that his Femural Nail (Rod) is a size 10 and It is too small and needs replacing for a size 11 or 12.
Â
We believe that these two combinations have stopped the leg from healing properly.
Â
Last week Jonathan unfortunately bent his Titanium Femeral Nail (Rod) which has left him unable to walk, stand/sit shower, cook, drive ect... He's very scared, anxious and confused.
Â
He's also completely bedridden in Hospital. And the Hospital wants to take the bed off him and give it to someone else who's also in need.
Â
This is down to the Junior Doctors Strikes and other complications (hospital politics) they're not sure when is completely possible to operate on him, it could be well over 2 weeks. Which isn't ideal for someone who can't even sit on a toilet or get out of bed without carers.
Â
The current NHS Hospital is wanting Jonathan to go home until there's is another bed. (Could be weeks)
Â
So, we are looking at the other possible options is to get Jonathan some Private Care or even the Full Operation he desperately needs.
Â
Â
Any donations would be a great help to getting Jonathan pain free and able n stable enough to play with his one year old daughter on the floor again.
