Jeremiah’s wait for surgery after car crash... ‘I just want to walk again’ by kevon.felmine@guardian.co.tt While many people hope to wake up to presents under their Christmas trees on Friday, Joel Jeremiah’s only wish is to walk again. The year 2020 has been hard-hitting, and for 34-year-old Jeremiah, who suffered a broken leg during a “hit and run” vehicular incident in Chaguanas back in February, it was life-changing. Jeremiah required several operations, and although doctors can perform the surgeries locally, it’s been 10 months.
