Deathrace 1,164 Posted February 6, 2023 An update on his health including a post-attack photograph https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64537770 Considering it was touch and go as to whether he'd survive at one point, it looks as if he's made something of a recovery. "The big injuries are healed, essentially. I have feeling in my thumb and index finger and in the bottom half of the palm. I'm doing a lot of hand therapy, and I'm told that I'm doing very well. I'm able to get up and walk around. When I say I'm fine, I mean, there are bits of my body that need constant check ups. It was a colossal attack." 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
