TFW2005: First off, how are you doing after your accident?
Garry: Oh, well I’m still in a brace, and I can’t get around. I have to have people drive me around, and a shower is a logistical nightmare. Just not fun. It just always hurts, I hate it. I’ve got it (the brace) on for three months altogether, and then I’m in rehab for five months. I tore my quad muscle 87 percent. It ended up in the top of my thigh and they had to go in and get it to re-attach it. It was just a mess.
