Seeking6 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 That was one tweet....another said he's resumed practice but can't be around players because of the medication he's taking for leg. All we can hope is that each step is a good one for this kid. He's the one shooter we've been missing but bigger picture. Just want this kid to get healthy for him. Can't imagine the anger/frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Suddenly, next year is looking better. I was worried Jerome would never be allowed to play again! All the best Jerome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Perhaps the isolation is actually a GOOD THING, considering the team dynamics of this year's group of guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome is one of the few players on the bench who is always up clapping and cheering during good team play and individual accolades. He has definitely been missing on this team in more ways than one.

Can't imagine the anger/frustration. If the lower leg condition is indeed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as has been hypothesized, then the medication in question is likely anti-coagulant (ie blood thinner). This is important because it would explain the NON-contact setting of his clearance. Any type of contact could lead to serious bleeding side effect of the medication. Most first time unprovoked DVTs are treated with anti-coagulation for 6-9 months. This would put timeline for return to contact during the summer assuming no setbacks. Really pulling for the best for Jerome and love his energy on the sideline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think before the season started I would know so much about blood clots and impacts of this type of injury. Couple people chimed in on twitter echoing this exactly. They said if he was cut in practice and started to bleed that for lack of a better term he could bleed out? Is that the severity of this medicine/injury/recovery?

Steubenhoosier Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Not specifically in Jerome's case, but wasn't there some discussion around the idea that basketball kids could play a limited number of games and not burn their redshirt year?

Bowhunter Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I wonder what Jerome thinks? In his mind he is going to be back I would bet. Though definitely no guarantee. This one could go either way. Hoosiernation is pulling for him that’s for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's on blood thinners it's not worth the risk of getting cut by accident from an elbow, scratch or whatever. The good news though is he can work with the trainers and get back in shape. By summer I'm hoping he is ready to go. I'm looking forward to seeing him play more than anyone else next year. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said if he was cut in practice and started to bleed that for lack of a better term he could bleed out? Is that the severity of this medicine/injury/recovery? Yes, but the real risk for contact while on a blood thinner is trauma to the head resulting in an intracranial hemorrhage. Also can have bleeding into joints (hemarthrosis) which could be severely debilitating. IU and the great Dr. Tim Garl have handles this situation very well. Sometimes these situations can lead to a turf war when an IU athlete needs outside opinion; I’m glad he got the care he needed at Cleaveland Clinic and support from IU administration Quick google search suggests Bosh also had blood clots. His actually went to his lungs which would definitely impact further pulmonary function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assuming that is more serious? Bosh had clotting issues in his lungs and leg. While location does come into play, the biggest worry with a blood clotting issue is a clot forming in a larger vessel, dislodging and then completely blocking a smaller vessel, particularly in the brain. Recipe for an instant stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
