I fractured my fucking spine * 5
    #26681564 - 05/19/20 05:25 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Had a full on seizure and smashed my spine on the corner of a heavy ass wood table, completely demolished my T12 vertabrae... Been about 3 weeks but the pain is still of the charts at times, even with heavy doses of dilaudid (hydromorphone)

No one can figure out what caused the seizure really... my mom has epilepsy but it's very, very unlikely I'd have my first episode this late in my life... So they went straight to drugs, even though I told them I hardly even smoke weed these days, took a blood test anyways and it came back 'pristine', So that was ruled out... I mentioned I was pretty hungover when it happened as we went pretty hard the night before, had a fire in the backyard with our basement guy and drank waaay too much vodka lol, so they went with alcohol withdrawl, but ruled that out as I wasn't really showing any symptoms of it at that point (roughly 24 hours after my last drink)

It was fucking weird, one second I'm chillin on the bed watching youtube videos on my tablet, the next I'm crawling back on to the bed, girlfriend is freaking the fuck out on the phone with 911, while I'm telling her to hang up the phone and chill the fuck out.. In my mind, nothing had happened, I couldn't figure out why she was in such a state of panic, she just kept saying "don't fucking move anymore, there is an ambulance on the way, you just had a fucking seizure!"... I was like "wtf are you talking about, no I didn't, I'm fine, hang up the fucking phone!"

Then the pain started to set in and I realized I was bleeding all over the place through my mouth... That's when it slowly sunk in that something serious did in fact happen... I don't remember anything, my girlfriend who was in the living room, heard a huge crash, guess I made the sound of a 'dying cat' right before... She runs to the bedroom and finds me stuck in the corner behind the door seizeing right the fuck out, eyes rolling around, limbs flailing etc...

By the time the paramedics showed up, I couldn't move my legs, on the ride to the hospital they were kinda trying to let me know this could be permanent, I was scared shitless... Luckily though, after a few hours in the hospital, and like 3 shots of morphine, I could move them again, sort of.

When they looked at the results of the ct scan, they were actually blown away by the fact I wasn't paralyzed...

On the more positive note, I was released from the hospital 2 weeks earlier than planned, against all odds and expectations, a week after I got there, I was able to sit up/stand up on my own, walk down the hallway, do a flight of stairs and walk back to my room (with a body brace)... They were just like, "you really shouldn't be able to do that yet, but you did".. Monitored me for a couple more days then said I was good to go.

Moral of the story, don't fracture your spine, it fucking sucks, worst injury I've ever had and that's saying something!.. The brace I have to wear for like 6 months could be used as a torture device :tongue:

This is basically everyone's worst nightmare when it comes to seizures. I'm sorry that happened to you. Take care of yourself and try to find some silver lining my friend. Pain is pain but walking around when others would not be is a blessing. It's kind of a new chapter in your life right? And you've got time to decide what you want it to look like.

That is rough man.  I take so many precautions but one gets fucked up physically at times if one has any real life.  You use your body through life and some things stick.  Have a cracked rib that I don't think will ever heal and that was from just playing basketball. 

Heal up as best as you can.  Spine, hope it gets back to normal.  I couldn't deal with being paralyzed.  Am so active physically.  Is strange how one is so used to the physical body and playing sports one can think that in a few weeks it will heal.  Life teaches a different lesson.

What a terrifying story at least you aren't paralyzed. My friend got a spinal injury on a snowboard halfpipe and is wheelchair bound for life. Get healthy OP

:lol:

That's basicaly what friends keep saying lol... "bro, rest up, you need to restore your super powers!" and shit like that.

They've watched me recover from some real doozers, like when I fractured my pelvis in 2 places after a ladder slipped out on me while I was roofing, fell 15 feet onto concrete, managed to walk myself to the work van to get a ride to the hospital... The doctors were abolutely stunned I was able to walk, and also at the fact I only broke my pelvis, I should have had head injuries and other broken bones, but all I had otherwise was a bit of a scrape on my elbow... Then they told me I wouldn't be back to work in 6 months to a year... I was back roofing, full duties 3 months later.

Or the time I was hiking through the Coulees in lethbridge AB by myself, on the west side of the river which is far more rugged than any pics I can find really convey, no real paths, very, very few people hike on that side of the river... But I did, fequently.. Anyhoo, I was walking down a steep slope, my foot hit a loose rock and I rolled my ankle so hard I could literally hear my ankle snap... Instantly hit the ground in absolute agony... Of course I didn't have my cellphone for some reason, so I couldn't call anyone.. I was just kinda laying there wondering wtf I'm gonna do, it was like 38 degrees celsious and dry as a bone that day, the chances someone else finding me before I died of heatstroke or something were basically nill... So, the only conclusion was to walk myself outta there, there was a golf course about 5-6 kms from where I was where I could use the phone... My god, I thought I was gonna die for sure, those hills are brutal steep even without a broken ankle.. Hours upon hours later, I finally reach the clubhouse... I ask desperately to use the phone to call 911 and told them my prediciment, and of course they don't believe me... After like 15 mins of begging, they finally say "okay, but WE need to dial".. "I don't... Give... A... Fuck... Just fucking call 911, PLEASE!"... Ambulance shows up, and the paramedics were fucking shocked after they found out I'd walked that far, in the coulees, on a broken ankle... Get to the hospital, doc gives me couple shots of morphine, I get some xrays... He tells me that it was basically the 'perfect' break, I won't even need a cast.. So I ask if I can walk on it without causing any more damage, tells me not really.. So I walked out, without cruches and took the bus home, was back to work by the end of the weekend lol (just had to wear one of those 'air boot' things)... I have a friend who's a nurse that works with the same doc, guess he still mentions me from time to time "that man is not like other humans" he said to her once :lol: (he's dealt with me a few times lol)

There are a few other crazy incidents, but I don't feel like writing a novel lol

And I'll just say, I don't go around thinking I actually have superpowers or anything, I know full well how fragile the human body is and I'm incredibly lucky to have not died or have any real permanent damage after some of this shit, have a higher than normal pain threshold/tolerance and heal the way I do... It's prolly genetic is my guess, most my family are very athletic, my dad and grandpas' on both sides were actually professional level, apparently my dad has also recovered from some pretty heavy shit that shoulda ended him up with permanent disabilities, but for whatever reason, just didn't :shrug:

And thanks for the support guys, really appreciate it it :thumbup: :heart:

I've still got a bit of a long road ahead of me, but keepin my chin up for sure, not lettin it get on top of me.

I can feel a difference every day, and am already weening myself off the dilaudid, down to 4-5mgs when I wake up and the same shortly before bed, still a few mgs between on bad days but far less often than even a week ago.

Also cut waaaaay down on my booze consumption, for some reason my desire to drink has really gone down, like 2-3 beers will last me all day, before I would crush a 6 pack in like a half hour.

My next goal is to start taking short walks, I've already been grabbing the mail, but I want to make it around my entire block within the next week or so.

One thing I'm worried about though is when time for physio roles around... No fucking idea how I'm going to afford that :confused:

Oh for sure, I'm not rushing any of this, just trying to keep progressing instead of just laying in bed while my muscles atrophy as I develop an opioid addiction.

Been keeping in touch with my doc and he's been givin me the okay on my goals.

Small but deliberate steps :thumbup:

I was saying about the money thing. Obviously u gotta get moving again and def not use the opiates as a crutch. The pain would likely be be better if u think u might develop a serious dope habit. Bunch of time of physical pain may save you years of physical and mental anguish. Obviously u prob need somthing atm I'm sure it doesn't tickle.

Maybe you could post a thread asking for PT advice based on your injury. There are lots of nurses and doctors around, I imagine a few physical therapists as well. They might be able to provide some advice and/or exercises. I imagine if it feels like you're pushing it, you probably are. If you're going for a walk maybe first try walking to somewhere close that you can sit down for a minute before you walk back.
