Damien Martyn Provides Positive Health Update, Says Happy To 'have A Walk And Swim'
Damien Martyn: Australian cricket great Damien Martyn has provided another positive health update after surviving a life-threatening battle with meningitis that left him in a coma late last year, saying that he is happy to have a walk and swim.
The former Test cricketer, who played for Australia in 67 Tests and over 200 one-day internationals, was taken to a Gold Coast hospital on Boxing Day after suddenly falling ill. Doctors diagnosed Martyn with a severe form of meningitis, a potentially deadly infection that affects the brain, leading to him being placed in an induced coma for eight days as his condition worsened.
Now, one month on from the ordeal, the 54-year-old says he is steadily recovering. Martyn shared his progress on X, posting a photo of himself at the beach and expressing his gratitude for the support he has received.
