Oh and I think one of those Mojitos that Nae Nae was talking about
sounds really good. Cheers~!!!!

Gosh, you poor thing. I certainly empathise with you, me being the Queen of falls and fractures and in one of my more dramatic falls I gave myself a King sized concussion so I have a good idea what you've been through.

I'm thankful that you didn't do any more damage than you did, but Gee Wizz, that was bad enough. Sending very gentle hugs your way and hoping that you soon feel better.

OUCHY.....((((((((((((((((((Pete)))))))))))))))))) ..... So sorry..

I missed you....feel better..

Pete so sorry you got so hurt!

Just pass the Cuervo.

I'm hurting all over just reading your post. Sending some positive energy and healing your way.~~~~~

So thrilled you have a doc that gets it. Maybe there'll be a cancellation. Ya never know. Just rest yourself and heal your owwies.

hugss and take care, hugsss,sarah

Sorry to hear about your fall and hope you make a quick recovery. My BIL is a parrothead. He even has a parrot tattoo on his leg. I have seen Buffet in concert three times, but it has been awhile.

My dear man, how horrible a fall!! The emotional part makes sense if you had a concussion or just that crappy labile stuff that comes with MS.

But come on, you're facing some scary stuff. No explanation you can think of for the fall? Then its the MS???

Do you live alone? (drink alone?) Ok I'll have one for you.

YOU are special to us here. Thanks for coming on and letting us in your business a bit.

Remember WE CARE ok?

My goodness I hope you'll all better soon.
I'm not to good with the stairs so I just try no to go up them in the 1st place. OK that doesn't work if your room is up stairs tho.

PJames, I am so sorry about your fall, and unfortunately, I can say I know how you feel.

I had a bad fall 2 years ago and I broke much more than a finger, and eventually had to have a spinal fusion.

You are very lucky to be alive and feeling from the neck down. Make sure they check your vertebrae for fractures, too, especially your neck.

When you have a bad fall and hit your head you get brain trauma injuries. The action of your brain hitting inside your skull will cause lesions. They can be on the side you hit first and then opposite that side.

Also you can get spinal cord contusions depending on how you fell. These will also show up as lesions, but they are not MS lesions.

I believe an MTR is what they use to differentiate between brain trauma lesions and MS lesions. They are not different on the MRI.

Do you have spasming muscle movements since the accident? If so that would be incomplete spinal cord damage. I have that.

I reversed the curve of my neck in my accident. Has anyone looked at the curve of your neck?

I know this is so much to absorb and you may be on pain killers as well as muscle relaxers, so I won't add anymore. Take it easy and let your body heal. Again I am sooo sorry about this accident.
