He went to Hospital and after X Rays and a CT scan it was found he had suffered 5 compression fractures , 1 of these is causing a bit of concern and Tony had a MRI scan on this this morning . We are awaiting the result of this scan . He was transferred from Wigan to Salford Royal (specialist spinal unit in our area) .
I have spoken with him tonight and he was in good spirits , we managed a laugh and a joke ;)
He thanks everyone for their best wishes , PM's and FB messages etc . Please feel free to wish him well on this thread or via PM etc but please be aware he is basically flat out with a neck brace on and is finding it hard to use his phone . Please dont be offended if he doesnt reply to messages . I know from what he has said he really appreciates them ;) :daumenhoch:
Fingers crossed the MRI scan brings some good news and we can get our T back fit and healthy asap .
I am in constant contact with his good lady Katherine and will update you all on his condition as soon as possible .
Thanks
Joff :)

Joff, remember him in Blackpool in 2012 when he tried to bunny hop up that 4" kerb and went over the bars? What a helmet :D
Seriously our Tone, take it easy pal and get well soon.
Cheers for the news Joffy. :4_17_5:

Never met Tony in person, but I've seen that scary picture of his landing. It didn't look funny at all, as he came down head first in a very bad angle.
Knock on wood it all may turn out fine and Tony will be on his feet again soon.
Healing vibes from me as well. fistblump

This is the text I have just received from Katherine ..... We have decided to have the brace fitted & docs seem in favour of this. They have said after 6 weeks if it's not working he will need surgery, but they seem quite optimistic that it should work as he is active & pretty fit & in good health. Brace needs to be ordered can take a few days, if they are happy with the fit he can be home maybe by weekend. Which seems amazing to me when I see him in his bed at the minute. The brace will be fitted for at least 3 months, looking towards Xmas for life to be something like normal for him.
...... Not the best news :(but let's be honest and say this could have been a whole lot worse . I guess we all have to be positive and give Tony and his family our full support and best wishes which I know you guys will ;) :daumenhoch:
Andy ( Cheeta) and Ant (Factory pilot) are in the process of setting up a donation page to help Tony , Katherine and Amelia through this difficult time . As soon as it is live I will get the details up (or Cheeta /Ant will ) :daumenhoch:

For you lucky people that have managed to stay off FB . fistblump
RADBMX Legend Tony Lee took a tumble at a local BMX ride RADLeigh .
He has fallen off his beloved 80's BMX and will now be in a neck brace for 3-4 months.
He has recently bought a new house and will now be out of work for a good few months.
Please donate what ever you can to help Tony and his family through the next few difficult months. Thank you !

He's in good spirits , had another X ray done today to check the brace was fitted correctly and it is :daumenhoch: He also had his first physio session which also went well . Its going to be a slow process but with our support and his determination im sure we will have our T back sooner rather than later .
Im off to visit him tomorrow so i'll let you know how i get on .
Thanks again ..... you lot are awesome :4_17_5: ;) :daumenhoch: fistblump

He's had physio today, which he found pretty hard but I don't think it helped as Tony said the physio didn't seem to know what he was doing :-X :(
Tony also called me tonight to wish me a happy birthday , he did his best to sing it but as you can imagine with a neck brace on wasn't the easiest of things to do ..... We had a laugh though and it just sums up the type of lad our T is :D :smitten:
