For those interested – an update about Tai Woffinden (polish translation)
On Friday, fantastic news was given about the player waking up from a coma. Most importantly, he has already had the most important surgeries, including the longest and most serious one, which lasted eight hours. Below is the latest information on the Briton’s condition.
ABOUT TAI WOFFINDEN’S CURRENT STATUS:
For the fans, for the closest ones who were not present during the sparring, this is undoubtedly a difficult topic. The situation was difficult, very difficult, and at one point even dramatic. Fortunately, in this misfortune, Tai is now after all these surgeries. He is recovering. He is in a state of waking up from a coma. He is still maintained on strong painkillers, which is also very important. The most important thing is that the surgeries were successful. I hope that he will come back stronger after them. However, whether he comes back will of course be only and exclusively his decision.
ABOUT WOFFINDEN’S INJURIES:
Let’s be honest, an open fracture of the thigh or a broken hip are life-threatening injuries in themselves. This is a serious condition. In addition, there were 12 broken ribs, including several in two or three places. A broken scapula, a damaged and broken right elbow. Spinal problems, which resulted in the longest operation. There were a lot of injuries.
ABOUT ELBOW SURGERY:
I can’t say everything. I promised Faye Woffinden, Tai’s wife, that she would decide on informing the public and the media on the most important topics. For my part, I can say that the elbow surgery was a success. After the accident, he wasn’t in such a bad condition as his left elbow, which was injured last year. He has full range of motion. After the surgery, the doctors checked it right away. Now it’s a matter of getting it all healed properly. Rehabilitation is needed.
All these injuries are ones that need a lot of time. Thanks to all the doctors, the entire hospital. The last, third surgery lasted over eight hours and was very important. After it, everyone in the club and Tai’s mother felt relieved that the worst was behind us and things could only get better. Tai has had the surgeries, they were successful. We are waiting for the whole process of waking up to be successful. A faster full awakening would cause huge discomfort in the form of pain. As we know, everything regenerates better during sleep.
