billrigsby Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Well, unfortunately, my projects are on hold while I heal a L2 Compression Fracture, Could have been a lot worse..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Control Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Glad you are OK, take a couple days off to heal. We are looking forward to see your updates soon Seriously I know what it is like to heal after a auto accident, was 1 month before I could use a walker to go to the bathroom. Was 4 months before I could walk without a walker to hang onto. I'm sure you probably have seat belt injuries also, collar bone & ribs ... I also had internal injuries ... No complaints, it was the seat belt that saved my life ... probably yours. Then when I started to feel stronger I started to ride a bicycle to hurry my recovery ..... Huge mistake .... it just made things worse for me. Just take your time and work on recovery ...... we get older & takes longer for us to do the things we use to do .... we do them better then we use to though.

kencombs Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Take care with. the recovery. What is your doc's plan? R&R or? I got my L2 compression fracture from a stupid chain saw and ladder trick a few years ago. My doc did a kyphoplasty . Strange sounding procedure, drilling vertebra, insert 'balloon' and cement) but I was in pain when I went in, 2 hours later I walked out, pain free.

47 dodge 1.5 ton Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Prayers for your recovery. It may seem like an eternity when something like this disrupts life, doctors are much more advanced than they were when our old trucks came through the plant, this is one improvement we have experienced through time.

Surprisingly, no other injuries, they did see something on one rib the ER Surgeon said 'she would have to convince herself' there was a rib injury, regardless of the scan. Seatbelt ALWAYS and YES!

Plan is R&R, see a neurosurgeon Thursday to access the healing progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Ouch! Hope you heal up quickly. Activity as tolerated is not an OK to push the envelope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
