Well I have seen him tonight, looks ,sounds and feels a lot better,
He is sat up a bit in bed, he is going to be fitted with a brace,up his back and front, bolted together :lolreally uncomfortable
The damaged bits in his spine seem to need holding in place until the area has settled, I don't think it is too bad as long as the bones don't move,pinch nerves..don't know how long that will be on.
