Jason surfing accident 28.12.2011

Surfing in Margaret River Jas came down wrong and smashed his left knee on his surf board. Poor Jas is in a lot of pain in Bunbury Hospital while they decide whether to operate there or in Perth. He is worried his surfing days could be over. Nice photo of the beach it looks great, knee not so good! Hang in there Jas

OMG Jas that looks shocking.

Jason moved from Bunbury Hospital to Fremantle Hospital today 4th Jan 2012

His operation is planned for tomorrow - I hope it all goes well.

His skating, surfing and footy days are over poor boy has a lot to deal with but is coping well under the circumstances...Keep up the good work Jas.

Jas had the operation at Freo Hospital on the 13th !!!!!!! Poor boy is in a lot of pain but handling it well considering. He will need another Op in about 6 weeks but I think the worst is behind him now.

Photo of the staples in Jas leg. No he is not sitting up !!!!

He had a code blue yesterday and massive pain. It turned out his leg went into shock and they were very concerned for some time.

Poor old Jas had a terrible time, I don't know how he is sooooo strong. I am going to visit tomorrow. He thought he was going to die poor thing.

Some good news though he maybe able to go home a little earlier than he thought which will be good.So keep everything crossed not you Jas it will hurt too much!.

Went to Freo to visit.....food shocking, staff good. Jas excited cause he gets to go home tomorrow. I do wonder after what he has been through whether this is a little too soon!!!! He has another Op in around 6 weeks I guess this one will be on the road to recovery by then.

I drove Jas to Mandurah today and Jess and Zac picked him up. Poor boy I am hoping they did not let him go too early as he felt sick and looked soooo tired. I think he will be happy once home and settled in and sleeping in his own bed. God what a nightmare this has all been for him.

Jas and the family had to drive from Margaret River to Fremantle to get the 47 staples out and an update saying he has a long road ahead. I guess he will get his head around it and cope. They had to get up at 6am and then got there on time and had a 90 minute wait before the long trip home, and in all this heat a lot to deal with but Jas does not complain. He is strong.

Valentines Day and poor old Jas has taken himself off the pain killers and is battling. God it just seems to be one thing after another for him - He has had sooo much to deal with this does not seem fair to me, also he has the next operation hanging over his head. I do hope each day gets easier for him, and he gets a break soon. I think if he was a dog they would have put him down. He does have a handle on it all and I am proud of the way he handles everything it is not nice to think of him going through sooooo much though! Hang in there Jas you are one strong sucker.

Another around trip to Fremantle Hospital with a 4am start! Only to be given conflicting information once more! He has to now massage and icepack his leg, not told that before today. They took the brace off which was frightening for poor Jas they want him to put 5% weight on his leg - when we left Freo before the biggest concern was that he put NO weight at all on his leg!.. We thought Bunbury Hospital had given him the wrong type of Physio, but as it turns out they were right all along................more conflicting information, my you have to be in top of your own health and well being these days.He should have been on anti inflammation tablets all a long for the swelling, no one told him that either..they just keep moving the goal posts. But he has taken it on the chin, and is getting a swimming program set up and looking into other things. They are talking of another Op to remove the scar tissue................just as well he is one strong boy with a level head on his shoulders and Jess and Zac around him to keep him sane. On ya Jas.
