bike accident
Last Thursday, Tom was biking up 6th Avenue when a city bus struck him. He was knocked off his bike, at which point the bus rolled over his left leg. He has been in the ICU at NY Presbyterian since, and is being cared for by the best doctors with the best medical technologies. The good news is they have been able to save his leg and he is very fit. The foot, femur, knee and ankle were miraculously not broken. A few complications have arisen, not unpredictably, with such trauma, so it may be days and more operations before he will be transferred to a regular ward. Because he can't take calls or visitors, I will post updates on this site to keep you all in the loop.

Dear Tom
ReplyDeleteI am leaving end of next week and before then will force my way into your room with a magnum of some good old Bordeaux...
So very best, my good old friend.
Roberto
Tom and Sue,
ReplyDeleteMeredith and I are so glad that you are getting the best of care and recovering. What a terrible shock! We're here praying for you and standing by for anything that you guys need.
Peter
Tom,
ReplyDeleteNow that we know you are on the mend, how is the bus doing?
On a serious note, if you need anything in the way of medical support, let us know. Besides the Red Sox, Boston is well noted for its medical care. Your friends at Harvard stand ready to be helpful.
Best,
Roger
