Message from DCB via his wife

You might have noticed that David has not been on the forum over the last few weeks. Almost 3 weeks ago David had a fall and damaged his spinal column. The fall aggravated a pre-existing condition we didn't know he had. The damaged resulted in a creeping paralysis which left surgery as the only option. A week later he had major surgery to remove 3 discs & cut into 2 vertebrae at C4,5 & 6, they were then replaced with a titanium mesh. The surgery went well and he is now embarking on a long road of physio to try & regain as much mobility as possible. As yet we do not have a definitive prognosis or timescale but David is definitely ready for the fight ahead.
I'll keep you posted as David's treatment progresses.

Puts things in perspective!

If you talk to his Mrs get her to pass on my (and I am sure everyone else on the forum's) best wishes. I have my fingers crossed that he can have as full a rcovery as possible.

Unfortunately I don't know DCB but I wish a fellow golfer a speedy recovery after such a catastrophic event. Puts moaning about a few missed fairways or putts right into persective.
