I’d say as close to zero chance as there is. He will need a year just for recovery and rehabilitation. Trying to salvage a career but even before that quality of life!
I agree. In Doctor speak, Full Recovery generally means the ability to walk and climb stairs like a normal person. Totally different definition for a football player.
Walking becomes running, climbing becomes trying to cut on the run.
The ability to take a hit and be ok...
These things are a far cry from what it would be for an old man like me.
Quality of life enters the equation.
Shortly I'll have a large pin and screw removed from my left leg. They have been in there 41 years. I'd leave em alone, except they are in the way of a total knee replacement.
Doctors figure I'll rehab from the removal 3-4 months before the replacement.
Going back to quality of life... I am faced with painful mobility, or 2 surgeries.
So much for me... Lets get back to Earl... He's older than me, but he's doing the things he needs to do. I plan to do the same.
Now back to Tua. I'll include him in my prayers. He's one of the good guys and I really want to see him play ball if he can, if not, I want him to live to be an old man who can look back on many memories.
I hope Tua rehabs quickly and painlessly. Nice guy from a Nice family. Praying for all of them.
