Robbie McNamara Making Progress Jockey Robbie McNamara has tweeted a picture of himself outside for the first time since his horror fall at Wexford eleven days ago. McNamara wrote on his twitter account: "Delighted to get out of the bed for the first time today. What a beautiful day for it to land on #littlevictories" Thousands of friends and well-wishers have shared and liked the image on the social media platform. Speaking in the Final Furlong Podcast, McNamara said: "I'm feeling great and I'm still optimistic. I've no feeling in my legs at the minute, but it's early days. "My back is badly battered and bruised and there's a lot of swelling. I'd be hoping when all that swelling and bruising goes down, some of the nerve damage might repair and some feeling might come back. "I'm very active every day. I'm doing physio already and working on balance and reflexes. "I can't do a whole pile as I broke eight ribs and cracked six vertebrae as well, so I can't do anything very strenuous. "There's plenty to keep you occupied, I'm enjoying my days and I'm in great spirits. I've no negative thoughts whatsoever. "It was my first time out of the bed (on Tuesday). It was a surprise I was allowed to go outside, it went grand and it was a beautiful day for it. "My mother and father were there and it put a smile on their faces, which is lovely to see as it hasn't been easy for them either."
