@apshutt @mercer_felicity @carolvorders@JohnnyMercerUK I question whether she is a suitable person to hold the Honary Rank of Group Captain in the @RoyalAirForce cadets, given the influence she may have over cadets. Is this the way we want our young people to behave? spouting abuse online.
Nottinghamshire Police Officer to Require Two Artificial Limbs Following Heroic Rescue Attempt
The @nottspolice Police Officer who sustained life-altering injuries during a courageous rescue operation is still under full sedation, and his family recently offered a heartfelt update on his condition and the complex rehabilitation that looms.
This comes as a @JustGiving fundraiser continues to garner support, raising over £26,000 to assist the officer and his family through this difficult time.
According to the officer's father, who spoke candidly while respecting his family's confidentiality, his son remains unconscious as he receives treatment for a multitude of internal injuries.
"He is not yet 'out of the woods,'" said the father, disclosing that the officer will need two artificial limbs as part of his long-term care.
The officer, who enjoyed mountain biking and served as a police driver, will now face a future where those activities will no longer be possible.
The medical team in the ICU has prioritised treating the officer's fractured pelvis and quartet of broken ribs, conditions necessitating surgical procedures and posing ongoing risks to his vital organs.
"We can only hope that the extreme loss of blood did not affect his brain," the father stated.
Looking ahead, the officer's long-term needs will be substantial, further amplifying the importance of the ongoing fundraising efforts.
He will require a one-handed operable wheelchair, a custom walk-in shower room, and a stair lift.
Additionally, the family will need a specially adapted vehicle that can accommodate not just the officer's wheelchair but also his wife and their two children, who are approaching their teenage years.
"During this unimaginably stressful period, we've been deeply touched by the public's outpouring of support," says the father, appreciating everyone who has contributed to the JustGiving fundraiser, which aims to assist in many areas of their lives that will now need considerable adaptation.
The family concludes by thanking everyone for their heartfelt contributions, both monetary and emotional, during this life-altering ordeal.
"Sorry about this, but you can understand the stress that we are all going through. Thank you all so much for your support," says the father.

@Marksbetblog @hckelso Has the fire service not just held a ballot on strike action? have they not been on strike in the past 20 years, or did I imagine that also?
@BBCRadio2@RealKenBruce Why aren't @BBCRadio2 releasing a full and proper statement regarding the manner in which they have treated @RealKenBruce ? It has been a total and utter debacle, not to mention a disgrace, to treat a stalwart in such a way, let alone the listener.
@BBCRadio2@RealKenBruce We didn't want Ken to go, but he is. Not when we expected or had planned for but next Friday because you have stamped your feet. Well like many, many others Friday 3rd of March will be my last day at Radio2 also. Hear you on GHR Ken..
@RealKenBruce Absolutely shocking, a total diagrace, obviously radio 2 no longer wants listeners of a certain age and has thrown us all on the scrap heap. To think I actually pay them for the privilege to do this to me.
