Overview
- New UK features, which ran Tuesday, revisit the 2017 pool injury and the family’s recovery.
- During a hotel pool volleyball game in Mexico in October 2017, a fellow player’s fingernail cut his right eye, according to his wife.
- A nearby nurse directed an urgent hospital visit for temporary stitching and a large bandage, and the family was told a week into the trip to fly home.
- He lost vision in that eye and about a year later surgeons removed part of it and fitted a prosthetic that the family says looks natural.
- The insurer paid £15,000, and the family says he has resumed water activities as they adjust to lasting changes.
