Broke my back going over the handlebars of my mountain bike. Best thing about it is that I don't have tv at home so I've watched the Tour constantly since I was admitted

I'm having a little scared moment bc they're telling me running & biking may be out for good bc of the location of the break. I hope hope hope they're wrong!

Thanks for everything! I will PM you later, need a nap now!
So soory to hear about your accident. I would have written sooner but I have not been on in a little while. Have you gotten yourself a long handled sponge yet or a detachable shower head? I am an OT and have worked with several people who have had back surgery or fxs and have had to wear various braces. Did you get yours from Hanger? How long do you have to wear it? One last question..where were you mountain biking. I mountain bike too so I am just curious as I live in the Denver area too.
I would not think running and mtn biking would be out for good...depending upon how stable it is.

Hope you are doing well.
