Hey Katie, one day in the not too distant future you will get to run in green fields with your dogs jumping around you and the sun on your back. Till then your fellow bikers will support you in any way we can. I know you would do the same.

Paul, you are so very kind and I must keep reminding myself of this daily. I plan to have an extra week off work once the halo comes off so I can do just that... book a back massage, a nice hair cut, and spend some days at the river with my dearly missed dogs who are such a rock in my world. It's going to be a magic week, and one I will never forget in my life time.Originally Posted by Paul M50
The support on KB is so warmly received. Learning how to be Dependant again means you just need and reach out for a little more support that you originally imagine. And I come in here, read these amazing posts, and know that I truly am such a rich person and this is a point I have been working very hard to get to in my life. And I am proud. You give me incredible support, and more strength than you all realise. And at the moment, I am a little weak, and am welcoming it with big arms an a smile.
A couple of updates... went to the doc yesterday. A quick visit. He finally received all the scan from the original doc, and was more up to speed with my injuries. As a result, he said my fractures were too bad to take any chances taking the halo off early. Not only do I have an unstable hangman fracture in my C2 vertebrae, I also have fractures in the T1 - T3 vertebrae. Classic... I'm learning so much as I go along. So, this means the full 3 month term in the halo and body harness. 1 month down, 2 to go. Sleep it my main issue, have now been a week with barely an hour, and exhaustion is setting in. But I am working through it, and not long to go now.
Woo hoo -ACC start paying me soon. Thats a huge plus, as it now looks like I'll be out of my job soon as the boss is enjoying the short term savings he is making. What ever happens, I am ready to tackle it and reckon I will be right as rain with what ever needs to be sorted out.
Love to you all xxxx and big halo hugs! I just wont move or I will knock you out. I'm a hazard don't you know!?

Your accident will change your life almost completely judging from my experience. You will change some as a person and your future will be different from your pre-accident life. While I would never wish it on anyone, nor want to go through it again, (it hurts to much...), my accident may have been the best thing to happen to me. It sounds wierd, I know, but my life has changed, and for the better. I'm a better person for it, my friends and family tell me and I feel it within myself....A couple of updates... went to the doc yesterday. A quick visit.

I now have opportunities not available to me before, physically in getting better overall health as well as fitter and stronger; work-wise in the opportunity to build my own business with support from a steady income, (small, but ACC are paying me a wage), assistance from ACC to get back to work and provide things I need.
My family and friends are even closer now than before and everyone is more conscious of how precious life and people in your life, are.
You will experience these things I'm sure and your example will inspire others and bring out the best in your family and friends!

Glad to hear of the progress!
My mate did the same thing. Hangman's of C2 = halo time.
The doc's wanted to study him to work out why he was alive... It probably wasn't something we did when the accident occurred and were administering 1st aid.

I guess theres a good reason they call it a hangman's fracture and that makes it all the more frightening. Glad the halo referred to is only a medical support, though by all reports you are an angel just need to keep you on earth a bit longer (bugger missed a pun should have said "keep your feet on the ground" instead of "on earth")

hehe yes... I understand why they now call it a hangmans fracture. Did some research on it, what an eye opener. Couldn't be any luckier, thats for sure. I am truely blessed!!!
And guess what.....? I GOT 6 HOURS SLEEP LAST NIGHT!!!! Woo fricken hoo. And I feel like a new person and can take on the world. Bring it on. With sleep, I can face anything. So very excited right now, not sure why, but I feel absolutely amazing compared to this past week. Almost feel like doing a little dance

Have you also been reading the handbook they give you from the hospital for the Halo? Sounds like you have. I must admit, its a VERY amusing read!

Best way to send ya self off to sleep is with a massive masti session!
Whip it, whip it good!
They dont call it hangman for any other reason love. You are more blessed than you realise.
They hand them out for all sorts of things. You should have seen the one my son got on type one diabetes
I find after a little rest it actually fires me up to great things
Katie, wank
It may relax you to sleep, it may give you strength to keep going. Whichever/whatever it wont hurt and will definately feel good in the process
