Thanks for asking.My leg is still messed up, I'm just used to that by now and I'm not freaking out as much, but it's even worse, my knee cap hurts. I got a appointment this 6th, where they probably won't do anything for me, expect for schedule more appointments.
My friends, I have to go to the hospital and have to take physical therapy and can only work under limited physical abilities because of my back/ leg injury.
I go to the hospital June 15th for xrays. I start therapy as soon as I figure out when and if I will work again.
Oh doodo, I'm glad the doctors are taking some action! I hope the physical therapy goes well and you heal quickly. And if anyone tries to make you do something you're not supposed to, you can tell them you're under hospital orders!
Some trainne at the bank put a hold on my card, never took it off, I got a new card in the mail and I still can't use the *BEEP* thing because of that and I'm supposed to be out buying shit for my back. I have to lie on my stomach every time my foot bothers me, I should be doing it right now but there's no proper place in the house to do it. I have to lie on my belly 10-15 minutes at a time, and all day long, and iwhever I set I need a lumbar support .
Its not that bad, people have it much worse but for the next few days I just have to lay on my belly...
Just don't do it behind furniture and get stepped on! :eek: I had to press up against a wall (not in a dirty way!:p) and flatten my back against it. It's hard finding a wall without furniture in front of it, but I learned the hard way not to do it behind doors...

The problem is that my foot always bothers me and she knows that, I'm supposed to lie on my belly all day long, just about in 15 minute segments, all day long. My foot is always bothering me .
And , I can't work any more, need to get excused off of work, entirely. And, she says that if I go back into work I will likely explode my shock absorbing disc...so, that's not going to happen. I lied on my belly for about 4-5 hours today, on and off, with my face smashed into the couch and I don't feel any better, it's supposed to be helping to place my shock absorber back into place.
I'm frustrated, real pissy about this. I have so much to do tomorrow and I wish that I had time to rest.
Yeah, I got emo as of late. I'm not very open to others. And I tried bonding with my biological father with video games, and he told me that he didn't give a fck, honestly didn't give a fck...
I've been emo ever since, but we bond with movies and TV shows. So, that's sort of cool...
I don't want to be emotional, I just am. People don't think I care or whatever, but I'm sort of sensitive some times. Well, my sister and my mother say I can be the sweetest guy or the biggest ass hole...
Right now I just feel broke up inside. I even started philosophy again.
It's hard reaching out to people, especially if they don't meet you in the middle. At this time, with your injury and all, do whatever helps you feel better. I know what it's like to feel like life is moving on without you, but it will get better. And hey, we like video games here - bond with us!
I have a myspace for a girl that always flirted with me, had a boyfriend. I had a inferiority complex, like every other girl who had a boy friend, who flirted with me. I was thinking about messaging her. Maybe I can fill some of my time and make a friend.
If I got rejected, it might suck, but if she chatted me up it could be a nice turn of events. Pretty girl, not that it matters too much. She seemed to be interested in me.
Yeah, I do love you guys and girls. But, people here don't want to hear about my foot or this or that. And, I don't any one does. I just , hell I don't know, I'm just reaching out. And I've encountered another philosopher on line from my ideas.
Oh, I get what he's saying. He's clever, I've answered his philosophical questions by asking a question that was rather a statement. That's because I've been at it for 14 years of so trying to decode humanity, reality, getting a girl friend...4 people found the question interesting.
*sighs*. I think I'll just start emailing girls, and stuff, I've already done some of the most advance philosophical thinking. Not to sound pretentious. I'm 23, a virgin, have no friends, can't even have a conversation with others that people consider normal. My own father can't talk to me, my own mother can't. My brothers can't most the time...
No girlfriend, no job, back injury...yeah, I'm allowed to have pride in something and that's my philosophy, what it has become is something far greater than where I started.
But surely the glass is always full - half of it is air.
[/Scientist]
I can't really say much that hasn't already been said, but yeah, now that you know what's wrong with you, you really can focus on getting better.
And if you still want to, don't be afraid to reach out and try chatting to other people. You never know, not all of them will run away screaming in terror.
My mother is crying. It's hard getting better , and it's frustrating and I'm looking at a seroius back injury. I might not ever be the same. And , I'm a little scared. But, I'm trying to be a man about this, make things easy for my mother, my family. I don't want her to stress out over this, I don't want to burden my family.
My step father is emotional too.
I was right, but it doesn't change anything. I don't want to be right/ wrong. I just want to get better and I don't want to burden or stress my family.
Sorry, that kinda comes across as mean. I didn't mean it to. It just seems like, from what you've previously said, they didn't care before, and now they do. Seems a little odd.
But anyway. If you want to get better, then focus on that. Do what the doctors tell you, get plenty of rest (not hard, I know ) and work towards getting back into one piece again.
As for your family... talk to them. Tell them how you feel, let them know that they can help (in little ways if you really don't want to burden them, but remember that they are there and they will want to help you) and that you will not let this get you down, so they shouldn't either.
If you can, it may help to let them come with you next time you see the doctor so they know exactly what the problem is and how they can support you in your recovery.
looked on line. Spinal injuries can be serious. This one in particular can cause temporarily paralysis, supposably.
I don't want to worry, expect the worse. I don't feel comfortable, no matter what I do. I'm in aches, pressures on my back. One wrong move and I can be paralyized.
This is awful, I'm not getting better, if I get worse, its my spine I could be screwed for life.
I cant find a comfortable position,
I'm sorry everyone , it's just that I've had this problem, found out about it today mean while its been getting worse. I've only had a little therapy. HadI not went in myself and took that ignitive, I probably would have no chance what so ever of not going paralyzed
Now my foot, leg has had a sleepy feeling for a long time, and now I read this andmy foot is going numb, some timesI cant feel my toes...already I'm starting down that path on and off
I'm sort of worried but I dont want to complain. I',,ll be ok
It's ok. Don't sweat it. A healthy mind is more crucial right now.
"With treatment, most people recover. It can take a long time. Treatments include rest, pain and anti-inflammatory medicines, physical therapy and sometimes surgery. Losing weight can help, too."
It can take a long time, but I'll be alright. I'll get better. I just started freaking out a little. The numbeness and tingling is normal. I've found it on line, the temp paralysis is normal. LOL. It's ok.
Some times I worry, what I saw my grandfather go through was a nightmare, I've had bad hospital experiences. But, it's ok, most people recover.
Oh doodo, I'm sorry that the mri was bad news. But at least now you know what's wrong and the doctors can give you the right treatment. Stay positive, stay strong...
Well, nothing has changed. I tried to tell my biological father about it. I don't think that he gives a cares, hasn't replied back. I go to that specialist on the 29th.
Oddly, you got a good response to a question asked on Yahoo. I think the universe is about to explode. Or implode. Or maybe explode and implode at the same time. Zectonic beam. Jonathon Price. Sofa of Reasonable Comfort. Etc.
But yeah, the guy there gave good advice. Even if it's just someone to talk to, check those guys out.
My dad contacted me, that was nice. We got sort of awkward relationship, but at least he cared enough to respond. I know this reflects relationships with fathers who have divorced in a awkward, almost negative light. I apologize for any bias I show.
Legally, I'm part time, and they don't really have much responsibility for my back, as far as I'm concerned, that's why they used me until they broke me. I know this reflects bias, possible delusions, humanity in a negative way. And I apologize for that.
But my emotions have made me bitter and I know it reflects humanity in a negative light when I respond in this way. I'm sorry I can't control my emotions, and I know it reflects humanity in a negative way when I express as a natural right that I exhibit my emotions in that way and reflect upon them as some sort of inherent flaw of my humanity.
I'm glad your dad contacted you, that's good I'm not sure about the USA, but over here, if the injury is due to work, they have to pay your wages while you're off, and accomodate you with light duties/reduced hours when you come back. Sometimes there's a settlement payment (I never got one of those though). And they have to pay your medical bills.

I was being stupid earlier. It's the 7th. Thank you, Davies.

*sighs* love you guys, I'm sort of depressed a little now. Thank you guys for being here for me. *sighs* I'm really feeling this now.
Thanks for responding.
Look at the bright side
Nihilism says chance of everything is 50-50, So you're free to imagine the full half of the glass.

Here's hoping to a quick and full recovery!

I don't really know you, but from the few posts of yours I've seen around, you seem like a nice bro. Hope you get well as soon as possible!

You, sir, are full of win.

Seriously, tho, try to get well soon, OK? At least try and keep a hand working so we can chat with you!
Best wishes and a speedy recovery!
Yes, not all people run away in terror. But, many do for me.
