I'm broken from a canopy collapse

Recommended Posts

My pelvis and tailbone are both broken. Last Saturday my canopy collapsed and dropped me 10 feet (right into a fire ant bed, how's that for insult to injury!). I spent five days in the hospital and now I'm home with my parents. Sorry I've been AWOL, but this is the first time in over a week I've been able to sit upright for more than three minutes.

I'll post in the Incidents forum as soon as I'm up to it, so you incidents nazis chill for the time being.

I'll be fine! I made them take my gear off before the paramedics got there so everything is in great shape except me. I'll be back in the air in a couple of months.

Aw, Jessica, I'm so sorry to hear that you are broken! :( I hope you heal relatively quickly and as pain-free as possible. Keep us updated on your progress!

Damn, Jessica...shit!!!

Let me know what I can do, and you know I'll get it done. I'd move Heaven and Earth to make sure you are all right...

Good to know you will be all right eventually, but shit, that just sucks...

Vibes, prayers, and hugs-
Michele

He'll be here tomorrow. ;)

Thanks for all the kind thoughts. I'm in a lot of pain, but it's nothing compared to last Saturday when I was freshly broken and the hospital technicians were indelicately shoving me into the CAT scan machine and such. I'm happy to be home with my family and my pain pills.

It gets a little better every day, and I just have to be patient and resist the temptation to rot in bed.

BTW, I really enjoyed Vicoden and Zinfandel out of a box when I broke my ankle earlier this year. No point in taking it with good wine ;)




OMG, Duece, you are way too funny!:D:D:D I needed a laugh.

Jessica, heal real soon, breaking a pelvis and tailbone are not fun and very painful. Healing VIBES coming your way.........................

Sorry to hear the broken news, get better soon. I'm sure you've heard this but be careful pelvis breaks are a BIG deal.

OUCH! Damn sorry to hear that Jessica! I'm sure the man servant will be much appreciated, not that having good ole' mom to take care of you isn't pleasant when you're nursing wounds! I'll be looking for the details in the incidents, although I'm sure there's not much to tell if the canopy collapsed...shit happened B|

I've been wondering where you were. I hoped your boy had whisked you off on a bahama vacation. But no, you had to break yourself instead of be on a romantic getaway.

Heal quick, you got my number if you need anything.

*hugs*
