Kubica’s condition ‘much better’ on Monday
Kubica
Following his shocking rally accident on Sunday, the first Monday bulletin from Lotus Renault GP has thankfully stated that Robert Kubica is now ‘much better’ after being kept under constant observation overnight. However, several more days must pass before doctors can declare his seven-hour surgery successful.
Issued by Lotus Renault GP at 1pm GMT on Monday, the latest statement reads:
‘After spending the night under constant observation, he was briefly woken up by the doctors of the Santa Corona Hospital (Pietra Ligure) this morning. The Lotus Renault GP driver was then able to talk to his relatives. He was also able to move his fingers, which is encouraging for the rest of his recovery process.
Professor Mario Igor Rossello, Director for the Regional Centre of Hand Surgery at San Paolo Hospital in Savona, did not notice any swelling or infection on his right forearm, and this is another good sign, although it will be several days before it is known if the operation has been 100% successful.
In order to avoid any physical stress, Robert will be put under gentle medication in order to sleep for the next 24 hours at least. Meanwhile, the doctors will decide how they will treat his elbow and shoulder fractures. Robert may have to undergo surgery once again for this, but not for a few days.
Lotus Renault GP wishes to thank the Hospital of San Paolo (Savona) and the Santa Corona Hospital (Pietra Ligure) for their professional approach and their dedication.
Lotus Renault GP will issue another update on Robert’s condition later this evening.’
