Final health update

It’s been a rough month. I’ll summarize for those who don’t know. - 1/11 working to determine what caused a leak in a property I manage. Went on roof, then into attic after finding cause. While following maintenance man, I stepped in the wrong spot and fell 14 feet through the drop ceiling and experienced a burst fracture to my L2 vertebrae. -Doctors weren’t positive on surgery, thought just wearing a brace would be sufficient. I essentially was in a pain medicine coma from 1/11 to 1/19. Spiking to 9 and 10 on the pain scale, then I’d finally get more medicine and essentially pass out. Rinse and repeat for 8 days. -Surgery finally on 1/19. 8 screws in my back and rods holding it all together. Pain still high, but different. - 1/25 finally released from hospital. Sent home, to lay in a hospital bed there. At least I’m in my own space. - Since then, I’m essentially on house arrest. I need the brace still whenever I sit or stand. I was needing a walker to do any walking or standing, but have been able to do that walker-less for the past 2-3 days. Just played my first game since before my accident, and it’s incredible how much dopamine it gave me to somewhat feel normal again. Long story short - I’ve missed being on here as much as I was pre accident and am hoping to play more now as I’m recovering and slowly returning to normalcy IRL. Be careful out there, breaking your spine is not a fun experience. Shoutout to my wife fireheart, the past month has been harder on her than me I’m sure. Although I’m home, I still can’t do lots of things as I can’t bend lift or twist. She’s my rock and I’d be lost without her. Thanks for reading if you made it this far. Hail Kovazia.
