Um...I have a neck fracture....maybe....

Dang, Snap, after I get my new insurance up and running, I could be playing the same game you are!

(another C1 problem child)

I'll be contacting you for info after I get the ball rolling. (don't want my head falling off, either!)

Saw my chiro today - got a lovely massage, she worked on my wrists a bit too.

She was so excited to see my x-rays and the report! "I've never seen a floating spinous process except in text books!" Then we looked at the x-rays together, she pointed out everything the report was talking about.

Sounds like pretty good news.

So does this mean that you *don't* have a broken neck?

[KnottedYet]

I think it means the part of the vertebra that would normally protect the spinal cord isn't there, and the spinous process is just a floating hunk of bone behind the spinal cord with nothing keeping it in place.

Not quite sure what the ligaments that would attach the skull to the C1 are attached to in this case.

Yup, don't be doing any bungee-jumping, Snap!

Pretty much right Knot. Mara thinks there might be some kind of tissue holding the spinous process in place, just not bone. Maybe the CT scan will show what.

I've decided you're my favorite Bobble Head, even though you won't fit on my dashboard.

ROFL!

Sorry, Snap, I don't mean to laugh at your pain. I do hope that your caregivers will be able to find a fix for you soon with the info that they gain from you CT.

SNORT!! Good one! Can you imagine (a mini version of) her riding on your dashboard?? Oy! I might crash from distraction like the time I rode my bike into the pole on the Truckee bike path because I was so captivated by what my riding buddy was saying.
