"After the fracture, they wanted to send me back to Manchester. If then we decided to fly, most likely, I would have lost my leg due to blood clots in it and other things ".
"I do not want to talk too much about this.
I have two scars on my leg from the fact that the doctors had to cut the tissues and extract this blood to the outside - that's how hard everything turned out to be ".
"However, I no longer worry about it. I feel really strong and my right foot is now exactly in the same condition as it was before the break, "the Manchester Evening News.
