“In other words, I get dizzy and suffer vertigo when I try to stand up and walk. Doctors say it will eventually heal and I can resume normal duties. Thanks for all the outpouring of support I received from a lot of friends.

In another post, Mr Jallow thanked his Facebook friends and family for their prayers and well wishes.

“Thank you all good friends and family,” he wrote. “Just began physical therapy with a nurse and was able to walk a little with the help of a walker without getting vertigo or dizziness. Your prayers are being answered. I am making steady progress as of now. Once again thanks, Love you all.”
