Just goes to show how fast things can change..blink of an eye... what I find upseting is it dosent take your actions to change your life. Someone elses actions may control your destiny. Thats what bothers me....and it can happen without your consent.

 

Heal up quick bud... and hope your road to recovery moves along quickly.

I'm sure these updates are getting old, but I have nothing much else to do, so you guys are stuck. I went to the Spine Center at UMASS Memorial hospital yesterday and was given the OK to remove the hard cervical collar [a "Miami J" for those who have worn one] after wearing it 24/7 for a month and it feels GREAT!! I am so stoked to be able to move my head and to be able to touch and see my neck again. This also means that my saintly wife doesn't need to help me shower anymore or tote me around like a surfboard. I am required to do some physical therapy before they clear me to drive, which is a slight downer, but on the whole I am super pumped to get this much further to "whole" again. My weight is now down 40 pounds in just over a month [take that Atkins] but hopefully now that eating is more enjoyable hopefully I can begin to rebuild. My broken ribs are going to keep me out of the gym for awhile, but when I'm cleared to go back I should be able to re-establish the rest; maybe even with a little less spare tire.

 

I also finally had a chance to speak with the two off-duty firefighters who happened to be on the scene [really "on the scene" as they told me that I physically flew over the hood of their truck on my way to the sidewalk] and made the 911 call as well as stabilized me prior to the ambulance's arrival. Somehow information had flowed back to them that I had not survived following the accident so the calls were pretty emotional ones and I had to let my wife take over the talking a couple of times while I gathered my emotions, but it was really terrific for me [and them] to be able to thank them for keeping me alive and minimizing my post-crash injuries because with the extent of my internal damage it is quite possible that I could've bled out right there on the street if not for their quick and competent assistance. I always used to find it somewhat corny on the old show "Rescue 911" when grown men would break down crying thanking the people who had rescued them or helped save their lives; I am embarrassed now that I was so cynical because I was the same exact way last night.

 

Enough for now, the road to recovery continues.

Chris,

 

nope not sick of them at all.

 

Just glad to hear you are making good progress to getting yourself "right" again.

 

Here's to continued success

I agree with JP, not sick at all about these updates, I'm glad your getting better.

 

 

[Alter Ego]

Thanks, guys

 

Hey John; do you have a spring on your a$$ or what? I heard you were at S4A now; that's about 4 jobs in the last 6 months! I hope things work out well there for you; I'm sure you'l be hearing from me in an "official" capacity pretty soon as we're due for some training sometime in Q1 or Q2 of 2008.

It's OK, some of these guys have nothing better to do anyway.

 

 

It's good to hear you have reached some major milestones on your road to recovery.

Cannonball, we are always wondering about you and glad for the updates and your doin better. I have knick named you "Cannonball", never could call anyone by their actual name same initials, CM

[mman10]

Chris, it's good to hear you are progressing fast. Keep the good news coming we all love to hear it!

[Alter Ego]

I like that handle, "Cannonball", rolls off the tongue pretty nicely. I may even need to change my emastercam screen name for that. Anyone have a jpeg of a human cannonball? The monkey banging the football may need to be retired as my avatar image.

I'll second that. Great to hear, Chris!

 

Lora Dodd, a woman powerlifter, suffered a major knee injury. The doctors told her she could never lift weights again. She went to Westside Barball where famous powerlifting coach Louie Simmons resides. Louie told her "Nonsense". He started her rehab and 2 years later she broke the world record deadlifting almost 600 lbs. Not bad for a 45 year old women weighing 160 lbs! Louie himself had many serious injuries which doctors told him don't lift again. He once cracked 3 vertabrae in his lower back after slipping on ice in his porch. Was on crutches for 9 months. 2 years later he's back lifting his usual insane weight.

 

You'll be back soon and stronger than ever. The body is very resilient.

 

Again, glad to hear you're making so much progress!

Sorry I'm late to respond Chris. It's great to see the progress you've made. Continued prayers for you and the family.

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Maybe since you have so much time you could try to catch John's post count.

 

Its good to hear that you are getting back told your old self mentally and physically. Have they said how long before you can go back to work? Dont want to worry you, but I am sure the monkeys have gone crazy with the footballs since you've been out. Maybe you could do some work from home before you go back.

 

Have not heard bout how the insurance is treating you on this, have they stepped up yet?
