Healing

[AcadieLibre]

Just wanted to thank Mad Aussie for inquiring how I was doing in a PM so I thought I would post here what is going on as far as my being broken goes lol. Well I thought it would be much better than it is, not healing as fast as I like, and I am stuck in bed a lot days. I do get out when I can and stay out as long as I can tolerate the pain.

I will have a better idea what is going on next week when I go back to see the surgeon, surgery is in the cards for crushed vertebrae sometime down the road, could be a year, 5, 10 years but they want to hold off as long as possible, I told them just screw that and just give me more pain killers lmaoooo. It is the bloody brace I need to wear that drives me crazy which I only need to wear when I sit or walk but laying in bed gives me a reprieve from the torture device lol, and no one told how hard it was to get used to walking with a cane.

I have been through something similar before so I know it will take a long time to get even close to normal, last time I broke my neck and its never been the same but you get used to it, twice I walked away not paralyzed so all things consider I can live with the pain considering the alternative. And again thanks MA for asking. And plus I got a free helicopter ride

PS: I guess my Mosh Pit days are over hahahaha

AL - so glad you updated how you are doing. I cannot begin to imagine what it is like for you!!!! I am so glad that you are maintaining a sense of humor through your trials! It makes your situation more tolerable to be sure!

I do hope for a speedy recovery for you! Chin up -

Oh my goodness AL I had no idea that you were going through all that!! I am glad that you are able to keep your sense of humour as well. I am not sure how I would do.

sending good vibes your way:

Ah man AL ... I was hoping for better news. Sorry to hear all is not going as well as you (and we) might have liked. I spent two years semi functional due to a bad issue so I have a tiny idea what you are going through, but can't really know of course.
Lets hope the surgeon has some good news.
And if you can't do the Mosh Pit anymore then I'm positive you'll be able to transfer your photographic skills into a different area of interest or you'll reinvent the wheel and find a way to shoot bands from a whole new perspective You have great talent with portraits of light and shadow from the little I've seen ... maybe some cool band shots of that nature will be your thing.
Either way ... keep fighting (as you obviously are) and we'll keep hoping you come good sooner than later!

As mom would say Rome wasn't built in a day. Keep hanging in there, do what you are to do and you'll be back! If I got anything out of you..it's your a strong person.

Do take care of yourself!
