Terrey Sparks in a serious accident

Terrey Sparks, Chairman of Hunstanton Croquet Club, Secretary of the Federation and a regular contributor to this web-site, was involved in a serious Road Traffic Accident on Thursday 10th September. He was airlifted to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and spent some days in the High Dependency Unit. His injuries, though never life-threatening, were extremely severe including a cracked vertebra in his neck, cracked ribs and a punctured lung, cracked pelvis, damage to his left hip and major bruising to his face. Fortunately as time has passed it seems that at least some of his injuries were not as serious as was at first feared. He has just been advised that nature can now be allowed to repair the damage and he can become mobile! Recovery time was estimated at 12 weeks from the date of admission and he now hopes to be out of hospital within 2 weeks of starting physio, which is any day now. He is currently in the Gateley Ward of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Colney Lane, Norwich, NR4 7UY.

UPDATE FRI 9 OCT

Terrey has now been moved to Dereham Hospital, Foxley Ward. It seems his estimate of going home this week-end was over-optimistic and it will be some time before he is sufficiently mobile to cope on his own. Address is Dereham Hospital, Northgate, Dereham, Norfolk, NR19 2EX.
