Hedman’s accident

The 51-year-old was forced to undergo emergency surgery at St Erik’s eye emergency in Solna. Hedman had suffered a retinal detachment and the situation became extremely serious.
“The plan was to train, eat a good piece of meat and finish with a long walk. It ended with retinal detachment and was admitted for surgery instead,” he writes himself on Instagram.
“Once again a wake-up call about living fully every day”.

It became so serious that Magnus Hedman would have lost his sight had he not acted immediately. Now he opens up on social media and shares nasty pictures of what actually happened, see the post below.
“I had flashes and then a shadow partially across the field of vision. If you can’t see well, don’t wait to go in! I would have gone blind if I hadn’t gone here and thought it would go away by itself. The only thing that had gone away then was the sight,” he writes on Instagram.
