Nick Galifianakis is reporting on Facebook that Cul de Sac creator Richard Thompson took a tumble yesterday and broke his hip. He’s going into surgery later today.
Hello cartoon and comic fans. I’m trying to generate a tsunami of good thoughts for the only actual genius I know (I’m apologize to whoever else I just insulted) Richard Thompson.
RT’s Parkinson’s has made him less stable and he took quite a tumble yesterday – he broke his hip, which is being replaced at 3 pm today.
A joint replacement will get Richard up on his feet very quickly -screwing in a pin, which was briefly considered, would mean a much much longer convalescence whereas the joint replacement means he’s up and rehabbing very quickly, very important considering he’s already starting out from a compromised physical position.
Surgery will be followed by about 5 days in the hospital.
Best wishes and a speedy recovery, Richard!
