Robert Kubica: Am I paralysed?
Renault driver, Robert Kubica is relieved to know he is not paralysed. His manager, Daniele Morelli reported earlier today that Kubica feared being left paralysed after the horrific accident, last Sunday.
While talking to the media earlier today, the manager said, "Robert asked me if his accident had left him paralysed, and he asked me to be honest. I told him no, that he had nothing that could not be healed with time."
The Polish driver met a horrific accident last Sunday during a Rally race in Italy. In a very critical condition he was flown to the hospital and was reported to have multiple fractures in his leg and hip-bone, a broken arm and a completely crushed right-hand. However, a seven-hour long initial surgery prevented the driver from having his arm amputated while the other wounds also seem better now.
The 26-year-old spent the initial couple of days in a very critical condition in the hospital and was sedated by the doctors to avoid the pain and the mental stress. However, since he has been conscious, the list of visitors is endless.
The Renault team owner, Gerard Lopez visited the Italian hospital on Wednesday and told the media on his return that he was relieved to find the driver in a stable condition. He further stated that he is sure Kubica will recover in a far lesser time than estimated by the doctors. Lopez said, "The important news is that Robert is alright. We hope he can return soon, because we built this team around him."
So far, Kubica does not know all about his injuries, including the extent to which the right hand was crushed. Also, he does not remember anything about the crash as he went unconscious immediately, and due to the immense blood loss did not recover senses for a long while.
While talking to the media Morelli also reported that when Kubica came out of the sedation effect, he asked for a photograph of the late Pope John Paul II. He told that it stays at his bed side now.
Explaining the driver’s current condition, the manager said, "Robert is under the effect of sedatives to take away the pain, but I have seen him smiling, he's okay. The war is over. He is strong and tenacious and he will recover and be stronger than before."
