Footnote: Editor of Year’s ankle mending slowly

He may be a fast rewrite man and a nimble typist, but Gersh Kuntzman’s bones are slow to heal. Nearly 11 weeks after his Jan. 11 slip-and-fall in a Vermont parking lot, Kuntzman’s X-ray reveals a hairline fracture.

Though a far cry from the earlier film, Kuntzman’s miracle-working doctor, Tom Lyon of Lutheran Medical Center, said he was stunned by Kuntzman’s “anemic, slow-healing bones.”

Chastened, Kuntzman upped his meds (1,000 miligrams of calcium a day, stat!) and has started strapping on an ultrasound bone-regenerator for 20 minutes a day. Will it help? “Who knows?” Lyon said. “But it won’t hurt.”

The Brooklyn Paper will certainly be following this breaking story.
