Sam Hill updated his fans via Instagram about his physical condition after the fall at Crankworx in Cairns about ten days ago.
I thought I'd write a little update from my Cairns accident to Crankworx. Since I returned to Perth and met my surgeon, the injury is not as bad as initially expected. I was operated on today and everything was fine 🙏🏼 My back fractures are stable, my shoulder needed cleaning inside the joint after my dislocation as I had some bruising / tendon repairs.
I can't thank my surgeon Benny and his team enough for operating me so quickly and for their care 🤙🏼 As for my recovery, I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'm glad I have some time to heal. I had some events scheduled to run in Australia this end of the season but I want to fully recover: these accidents happen. It's frustrating because I was finally getting my rhythm back after a couple of years of shit. I have a goal, a plan that I want to achieve on my own and I know I will get there. Big things coming up for next year so I hope the recovery goes smoothly and can get back on track in 2023 🏁 I want to say a big thank you to everyone for last week's messages and support, I really appreciate that 🤙🏼 It's good to see how many of you were so eager to see me drive DH again 😏 Also a huge thank you to my wife for stopping everything on her vacation with the kids to help fix me once again 😂 and take us home. I love you
