The day we got home from out trip I destroyed my neck again.
I was unloading the truck and my right arm when dead. Couldn't move it or feel it so off to the hospital and at 1am I was getting new parts.

 

Are they shiny



In all seriousness. That looks like it sucks. What did you do?

 

Dang mike. That sucks big time!
How long will that keep you down?
You must have 10 lives.

 

They were when they went in. Lol

A little over a year ago I tore up c5/6 c6/7 sand with 10 weeks of PT all was great other than som numbness in my right hand. Fast forward to last week when we got back I jumped,reached, grabbed a suitcase out the back of my truck and my arm went dead. C6/7 shifted and pinched all the nerves so a fusion on c6/7 was done. After surgery I got movement back with one more numb finger. Il start PT again next week.

 

I hope not forever. Lol

I think I'm down to 5 now.

The last two years have been just chity luck but I'm not gonna let it stop me

 

Great attitude! Keep up the good work.
I feel you ..I have always had back issues tho not so severe. Its fun when you do something seemingly routine...then bam..on the floor or flat on your back.sucks!

 

You made my back hurt just reading this. Hope you heal up OK Mike!

 

You tease! I was expecting to see truck parts...not body work!

Like the other said...in all seriousness I hope the feeling comes back .... knock on wood that is the last issue for a long time...get well man!

 

Glad you are recovering well. I had screws like that in my knee and could tell when rain was coming....I don't envy you having that rainy day feeling in your neck, though. I guess it is better than no movement out of your arm. I hope all gos well in PT.

 

Thanks guys

 

Guys..... This is the result of owning a highly modified 7.3L OBS... Everyone keep this in mind and wear your neck braces and 5 point harnesses when needed. Remember, SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU!!!

Seriously though, that sucks Mike. Looks painful.. Hope PT goes well and you start feeling normal again real soon. Be careful buddy.

 

Blahahahaha. Travis I wish that was the case. Sure sound more manly then grabbing a suitcase. You wanna come put the heads back on my 6.oh?

 

Sure, I'll be right there. LOL. I despise 6.0's, you know better.

 

It's my new play toy. With buying it and all the parts to bulletproof it I only have 5k in it.
A buddy is coming this weekend to do it. Got get it closed up so it doesn't rust.

 

never give up mike. it took me 18 months to learn how to walk again after being in halo traction for 18 months after i broke my neck.
the docs all said i would be confined to a wheelchair and never walk again after my accident. but i proved them all wrong.
i am in pain every day, and still only have about 25% use of my left arm but i am still going strong 33 years later.
