Australian eventer Paul Tapner is progressing well following accident
By Equestrian Life
Australian eventer Paul Tapner is progressing well following a serious fall while out hacking last week. The accident left him with two tiny bleeds on his brain that resulted in a very mild stroke.
“Paul is progressing well. Medically he is good. Physically he aches and mentally he is improving!” reads a recent statement on the Tapner Eventing Team Facebook page.
“His long term memory is very good, but his short term memory from the day of the accident until yesterday is sketchy.
“Today however he is remembering things like what he has eaten, why he is in hospital and what he needs to do to get better. He is likely to remain in hospital for a little longer before he can start his program of rehabilitation.”
We wish Paul all the best with his recovery.
