Medical update on Jason Donald after his crash in the final kilometers of the final stage of the Vuelta a Chihuahua:
“I talked with Jason who is on a layover at DFW from Chihuhua City to Denver. It sounds like a “hip fracture” that will be painful and annoying, but ultimately not a big deal. At this point he’s getting around with crutches and minimal pain. It doesn’t sound at all like the “hip fracture” grandma gets which almost always requires surgery, insertion of hardware, and extensive rehabilitation. I have a call now in to Dr. Stephan Paul at Boulder Orthopedics to see Jason in the next day or two. Details to follow.”
