This is a late posting for my injury as I really wasn’t in a position to update my blog that day. On June 25th, 2011 my life almost changed forever. In retrospect it did change anyhow because every experience changes us. I broke my neck that day and would later learn that I was even luckier as I broke two vertebrae (C4 and C7). Hopefully I’ll have little residual effects from this injury which resulted from doing one of my backflips and landing on my head after slipping on some wet grass. Anyhow it was a very traumatic experience laying there worried about if someone touches you and what could happen between the time you are there and arriving at the hospital. Anyhow I had some great paramedics doing an awesome job getting me on a spinal board, good staff at the hospital and a couple rough nights on a head injury unit. Learned that I am not a fan of hard drugs and really hate wearing a colar but again could have been worse, could have had a halo like someone else I know. All in all recovery is on track and I hope to be good as new in the fall.
