A Paisley man who sustained serious leg injuries in a cycling accident has thanked NHS staff for the care he has received as he works his way back to health.
Tom Walsh was out cycling in the town in November last year when the accident happened.
He suffered multiple fractures of his right lower leg and was rushed to nearby Royal Alexandra Hospital.
“I’d suffered one of the worst fractures you can have in the lower part of the knee,” said Tom,
“When I arrived in hospital I was in a pretty bad way. They took me into the resuscitation area and I was given multiple X-rays and scans of my head and neck.
“I was in hospital for four days as the surgeons waited to operate on my leg, but the swelling was so bad that it was more than a week before they could perform the reconstruction surgery."
