Will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. So glad he was wearing proper equipment and that it's not much worse.

Thank you! He explained the accident thusly:

Going about 70mph and hit a concrete berm. Flew 15 feet in the air, landing 70 feet from the sled. Sled then rolled over him.

We (he especially) are well versed on head injuries (I had a grade 3 concussion 9 years ago and diagnosed my grandson with a concussion via skype -lol), so not concerned with that particularly at the moment. More concerned that he has more of a spine injury (cervical & lumbar sacral). I hope he can at least get some relief tomorrow.

Wow! That was one heck of an accident. I am so glad he is okay, he is very lucky indeed.

I am keeping your son in my thoughts and hope everything checks out okay at his appointment. I'm sure he will be sore for a while!

Wow that sounds scary! I'm sure he is feeling it today and will be for a while. I'm praying he heals quickly and there are no surprises when the swelling goes down.

Hey Always,

Sons can be such a worry, I was and mine is.

Many of my worst Neurological/Spinal issues came about after I wrecked my bike at 80mph and crushed vertebrae in my neck, so make sure he gets checked out thoroughly over the course of a few weeks.

Thoughts and prayers coming for both of you.

Dave.

He is working on that Dave, thank you!

He discovered today that the ortho his PCP referred him to for a knee and shoulder issue before the accident will only see patients for one body part at a time. He will need several days off of work to cover every body part affected by the accident and Mamma is beyond livid about this 'practice'. I will be calling every ortho within 20 miles to find out if they are all doing things this way so I can find him someone who will address all the issues in a timely fashion.

That is so ridiculous. If he was in an accident then he should be seen for all complaints related to that accident at once. I could see if there were non related complaints that would need a separate appointment or if he needed to see different specialists for different parts of the body (still should be coordinated on the same day if possible)...but making someone who was in an accident of that nature wait and schedule multiple appointments is just ridiculous...especially when many pains can be interconnected. Seems like a ploy to make more money by changing for each appointment separately...which just leaves a bad taste in my mouth...ugh!
