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.

: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.

Figure I might as well give an update.

Doin much better, still hurts but its more of a dull ache as opossed to the sharp shooting pain down to my toes I used to get, rarely use my body brace anymore while i've been pickin up my beer and smokes and all on foot, and it realy feels alright, no more opiates or pain kilers in general anymore either.
,
Doc is very happy about the way its going.. Looking like I'll be looking at a good revovery


Zopiclone kicking in fast though, things are gonna stop making sence any second if I keep typing lol...

But yeah, the progress is for real and plan to keep it this way and eventually get back into the kickboxing and stuff ASAP

Yeah.  Despite his broken back not Superman style from a horse and paralyzed he will be ok.

How funny would it be if he ever took esoterics like mushrooms, tis the thread in it, or lsd or DMT?  What would happen to all the fakeness, phony and smugness if his self aggrandized ego and massive wealth, can't take it with you and he is 60, was destroyed and he didn't shivel out endless shit for the mass media people to consume?

Think the world would be fine.

Glad to hear you're doing alright lusid. Hope the pain goes away soon. Things like that take a long time to heal, but they do heal, maybe not 100%, but 95% is good enough! Pain can become your friend over time, even if it always hurts a little, if you live with it long enough it won't even bother you anymore.

Anyway, hope everything goes great for you. Let us know how it goes if you decide to try tripping! I'd be curious to hear.

Also your original post scares me a little every time I read it :lol: it's scary to think stuff like that can happen at any time for any reason out of nowhere. Enjoy life while we still can I guess.

Feel better soon! I was 30 when I developed tonic clinics and have done a lot of damage to my body. Its rare but happens. Really glad you narrowly dodged paralysis.

What did your imaging show?

By chance, do you eat kratom, or use anything other than vodka?

Fuck man, that sucks! As a fellow spinal injury sufferer and a many years post op fusion patient, hang in there! The pain is brutal but sounds like you did what I did and got the hell back up and got moving way quicker than the drs thought you should/would and it is the best thing. You will heal fast and though you may have ever lasting pain (obvs not like when the injury first happened, but ongoing residual pain) don't stop moving and keeping fit. That is when things turn right to shit. Grit your teeth and sleep it off.
Take care and do heaps of healing man. Good luck.

Day one of pushups... Did 10 on my knees... Holy shit it was hard, my strength is pretty much gone  :lol:

Made my back feel good though, I'm gonna start doing this every other day, 

Been taking my dog on 1-2 hour walks every day as well, also feels good :thumbup:

That's big progress, my brother was in a fire and when he went from bedridden with me changing his bandages, to the point of PT, the change was massive, not just physically but psychologically, as I can have normal life again.  Remember that feeling, it will keep motivated if you backslide a bit (happened a lot with my brother, and I was always there to remind how he felt knowing normal life was just some blood, sweat and tears away).  Good luck and may you continue to make outstanding progress.

Allrighty, just talked to my spine specialist guy... Spine is healed, in fact "it really couldn't have healed any more perfect"

I'm 3 millimeters shorter, but that was to be expected I guess... Also weak as fuck, and it still hurts, but physio will commence shortly, then the weight lifting will commence shortly after that.

Fuck, what a relief... No surgery or anything needed... my t12 vertebrae was in like 6 pieces but somehow managed to fuse itself back together.. Human body FTW!! :rockon:

Young heal early if not to serious.  Spine is, of course, one of the worst things one can fuck up on ones body. 

Not like a broken bone or such.  Heal man.

Didn't know.  Mostly M's that post on the Shroomery.  Spine injuries are interesting as even doctors don't really know unless you can't move anything. 

Am five years older than you so much wiser.  Just a joke.  Just hope you have good health insurance.  Am a very active person physically like 23 days on the PCT and climbing and shit.  Spinal injuries and how it effects the body hope you can see a specialist.  Best.

It's a good thing I live in canada for sure, the only thing I needed to pay for was the ambulance ride and the brace, which totals to about a thousand bucks, it is a lot for me, but if I was in the states, dear god... I might very well get free physio too, which is awesome, me and my doc are in the midst of ironing this shit out, and things are looking good.

I was hooked up with a specialist day one, free of charge, again.. Because Canada!

Yeah Z's are the worst.  Get why they need a screen in front of their face all the time.  I NEED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERYTHING.

Saw a comedy bit that made me laugh.  This was grandfather and a picture and a story about it.  This is a picture from Z or M saying, I ate this and drank this coffee and took twenty shots of it at my local cafe!

Hey, fucking great!  Look at my instagram, facebook, etc.  No.  Just no.

Okay, start my physio on monday... Things are are still progressing nicely.

I've been lifting very lightly steadily (with the okay from my doc) along with pushups and other easy bodyweight exercises, stretches etc... Lots of walking even though it's been cold as fuck, even here in alberta for this time of year.





There's a thing thing or two that's been itchin at my nerves from the very first night though, that I never mentioned before... The way we (my gf and I) were treated by the medical staff.

The first doctors/nurses I interacted with (at the first hospital I was sent to) thought for sure my girlfriend smashed me in the back with a baseball bat or something... I could overhear them talking quite clearly about it..

Shortly after my CT scan and Xray, I legit heard them off to the side saying "there's no way he just fell, he was hit by something blunt, on purpose.. Looks like a baseball bat."

They come back and are asking me all these questions about our relationship and if there's any violence etc... Kept trying to tell them, "NO... NEVER.. NO NOT EVEN ONCE".. but they remained sceptical... And it was not helping matters... My poor fucking girlfriend damn near had a nervous breakdown cuz they kept calling her asking her what she had done!

She kept calling the hospital to see how I was doing and they wouldn't even let her talk to me, just kept asking what she had done... Also, because of covid, she couldn't even be there, no visitors alowed.

I had to be shipped to another hospital in calgary, because there was no spinal specialist in the hospital I was in... Once I got there, the doc/nurses gave the other guys shit for being complete asshats for focusing on the wrong thing... Even the spine specialist was giving them shit, oh he was ANGRY at them...

They (the first hospital) legit thought this was a domestic dispute... Though it was not even close... My gf and I are super fucking tight, we would NEVER hurt eachother like that EVER... Fuck it pisses me off the way we were treated in that regard.

You've been doing fucking pushups now?!?!  bro that's super good.  You must be a lot farther ahead than I thought you were.  I mean, normal people oftentimes can't even do a pushup :lol:

Sorry about the way that first hospital treated you and your GF.  They sound like amateurs.

I've actually started my weightlifting routine again :awesomenod:

went from from a 425 pound max deadlift to like 40 pounds :lol:, but that's okay, I'm just glad to be able to be lifting again.. I'm slowly pushing it a bit harder every session though, just nothing over my head yet until my core strength builds up a bit more.

planks have been helping immensely, same with pushups... they don't hurt at all, but it's weird feeling this weak, I can do about ten regular until my body says "fuck off", then i switch to my knees for a few more.

been working on sqauts (just body weight) but it doesn't feel right yet, balance is fucked for some reason, but I'll get er done eventually.

my yoga ball has also been a godsend.. the stretches I can do with that thing are amazing, it's really been helping.

I know it wont be anytime quick that I'll be back to 100%, prolly not till about a year from now anyway (according to my physiotherapist) but that's totally okay... I am just so happy I'm not fucking paralyzed, my spine healed good and shouldn't have any long term issues.

:rockon:

my goal now is to be deadlifting some serious poundage again, and I'll post a video once I get back to the serious lifts... I hope it can at least bring some inspiration for people who suffered a serious injury and think they'll never be the same again..

I'm in no hurry though.. just taking it as I go. Used to be a day by day thing, but now I'm looking more at weeks, slowly creeping on to months.


if you guys are sick of seeing this post coming up I'll stop.. but it's almost like a journal to me at this point lol

Are they still trying to find out why this happened, the seizure?




they think it prolly had something to do with my blood pressure, which has always been a bit high in recent years.. was creeping up dangerously high leading up to the seizure now that we look back, and that blood pressure never really settled down much.

we can't think of anything else really, and it makes sense.

my doc put me on some blood pressure meds about ago month now... had an appointment with him earlier today, he told me told me it's right back to where it should be... big sigh of relief right there.

lucky I didn't have a full on stroke/heart attack it was so high.

2020 I tells ya.

Someone's gotta say it(because its true), HBP.. The silent killer. IME, there's absolutely correlation between hypertension and seizures.
None since?

Can't speak for others, but I find your progress super inspiring.
Besides, who doesn't like a success story?

Gaining favorable results by means of pushing yourself(and not overdoing it) is ultra rewarding.
I admire the progress, and especially your refusal to settle.

Looking forward to hearing the next report!

Wow, 425 pound deadlift?  Sounds high.  You must be jacked.

I understand how tough waiting to exercise can be because of injury.  I love to run and I ended up getting non-acute compartment syndrome in my left calf and had to take one full year off of running.  That was a few years ago.  It's totally manageable now as long as I don't run like a crazy person too often.  I do have to stretch my legs a decent bit every day to feel normal, otherwise my left calf feels a little tight.

Post that video when you're ready!  I'll take a look.  And nahh I enjoy reading about your journey!  :popcorn:

Yeah, it is a journey.  Strange how well one gets to know one's body when rehabbing and used to being active.  Get through it.

The only thing that scares me is never healing, paralyzed or degenertive shit.  But, I don't worry about it.  Heal and recover.  I don't see why anyone would want one not to that has kind of humanity to them.

I just bring it up because big sports guy.  Never cheered when a guy was hurt or worse carted off the field or such.  You have your own rehab but sounds like you will do fine.  Patience is a bitch.  And I have had my frustrations.

You should try acupuncture for the pain and to help decrease healing time.

At least you didn't break your whole arm in 5 spots and had to have it stretched out and man handled without anesthetic and then have it cut open and plated in four 9 inch incisions from shoulder to wrist and then stapled back together. That shit suckz

How is your healing and spine doing?  Curious.  Spine is an anomality I remember from a long time ago with some kid with scolious though your case is different.  Did it heal? 

It is amazing how important the spine is to the body.
