@chevypower406 it would be nice if that were true, but no such luck, im missing an inch and a half of my spinal cord at my t-10 and t-11 vertebrae.

@whysohigh damn what happened

[whysohigh]

@chevypower406 aug '07 i was on my '07 crbrr, i came up on an intersection i was turning right at, looked to my left for traffic, looked up and there was a full size chevys grill doin 40 in a 25 down the middle of the road. then there were all kinds of plastic and metal noises, it got real quite real quick and i realized right away im under this dudes truck and i cant get up, after about 35 the tow truck arrived to lift the chevy off me and what was left of my bike, thats all i remember for 2wks

@whysohigh damn thats scary as hell. did you go in acoma

@chevypower406 they put me in one because the morphine wasnt doing anything for the pain, i just remember screaming 'make it stop' over and over then the next thing i know its 2 weeks later, i have a wicked beard and im 50lbs lighter, basically my t-10 vertebrae exploded, i have whats called a cage in place of it, its a titanium cylinder they packed with bone fragments. along with that ive got 19 screws and 5 rods holding me together, they call it a double fusion.

@krysstarr2010 I agree. The OT's and PT's have no clue sometimes. It's annoying. I don't even bother with them anymore because I learn better by practice. I have overcame so much by myself and changed a shitload of transfer methods they tried to teach me. Whysohigh has them all down correctly though. Thanks man. Coming from a 3rd year T4!
