On Monday we learned that David Beckham successfully underwent ankle surgery on his injured Achilles tendon (after he injured it in gameplay the day before) and yesterday we learned that wifey Victoria Beckham made her way to Finland from LA to be with her hubby as he recuperated from his surgery. Today we get to see the first pics of poor Becks being released from the hospital in his foot cast as Les Beckhams made their way to the airport to leave Finland. It’s unknown where the couple were headed but it is presumed they will be making their way back home to LA (possibly with a stop-over in London) for his recovery period:

David Beckham is given a helping hand by wife Victoria as he struggles into a waiting car – two days after emergency surgery on his torn Achilles’ tendon. The couple flew out of Finland, where the procedure was performed on the former England captain, by private this afternoon. The plane carrying the couple took off in a light snow shower shortly after arriving from the clinic where Beckham had surgery on his left foot. The injury will keep him sidelined for about six months, meaning he will miss the World Cup in South Africa. The couple made no comments, and it wasn’t immediately clear where they were heading. Beckham’s doctor, who had earlier said they would likely travel to London and later to the United States, said Wednesday he ‘had no idea where they are flying to.’ Earlier, police pushed back dozens of shouting fans as the couple got into a silver Volkswagen van parked outside the clinic in southwestern Finland just before 2pm (1200 GMT). Escorted by two police cars, they were taken to the local airport.

It makes sense that Les Beckhams would make a stop in London, mebbe for a few days, so that Becks can rest a bit at the famed Beckingham Palace home they have there. Becks‘s family lives in London so a little lovin’ from mum might be part of his rehabilitation. Les Beckhams will be back in SoCal in no time, I’m sure. This sight of Becks on crutches and in this cast is one we’ll have to get used to. Becks will likely be hobbling around LA for many months to come as his ankle heals. Poor guy. Rest well, Becks! Perhaps a green beer on St. Patrick’s Day today will help numb the pain. Bless.
