The Ghost Insiden kitaristille huonoja uutisia liittyen liikenneonnettomuuden vammoihin: Edessä kolme uutta leikkausta

Yhdysvaltalaisen hardcore-yhtye The Ghost Insiden kitaristi Zach Donson on saanut lannistavia uutisia liittyen marraskuussa 2015 vakavassa onnettomuudessa teloneeseen jalkaansa. Kuten Donson aiemmin arvailikin, hänen luunsa ei ole parantunut normaalisti, joten hän joutuu vielä kolmeen uuteen leikkaukseen. Näiden jälkeen mies on ollut kaikkiaan 13 leikkauksessa bussikolarin jälkeen, jossa hän menetti myös varpaitaan ja mursi lantionsa muiden vammojen ohella. Yhtyettä voi tukea Gofundme.com-sivun kautta. Donson kertoo tilanteesta Instagramissa:

“Recieved an update on my femur today. And I can’t lie, I’m fucking devastated. My bone hasn’t healed at all, how this slipped under the radar is beyond me. But as I’ve been told, that’s “the medical system.” So here’s what’s happening:

1. I will be put back into the hospital for at least a week. Where two surgeries will happen. The first will be taking bone from my left femur via my knee (so now my left knee will have problems as well). And then they will fully redo my ENTIRE right femoral surgery. Replacing everything, re-slicing everything. After those two surgeries I’ll be released, but 100 steps backwards.

2. I have a hernia in my abdomen, this could’ve been taken care of months ago. But due to “the system,” it hasn’t. Explains my constant stomach pain and issues. So I’ll be having surgery on that as well.

3. After all of these I will re-start physical therapy. Last week I finally got my right knee to “normal” range of motion. I’ll have even more pain than normal, and have to work even harder to get life back to as close as normal. One nice (I suppose) thing is I can choose when this happens. Sooner than later obviously though.

I appreciate all the love and support. This just straight up fucking sucks. It won’t break my spirit, but it undoubtedly has put a huge dent in it. Three more surgeries to go now.”

Hän kertoo Twitterissä kuitenkin jatkavansa taistelua:

I appreciate the kind words everyone! Strength is not an issue, trust me. I may be bruised today, but VERY far from broken. #Perseverance
