Water type injuries are not uncommon, a bit of beautiful blue pacific wave and a sandbar ended a great morning's body surfing for me. Life does get better, give yourself and everyone around you time to heal, to adjust and enjoy the fact that you survived. Life can be tough on wheels, but it can be mighty wonderful as well...
As for the nerve pain, all of us are so different and deal with our pains the best we can. Seek out help, get the medications you really need, exercise, stretch, perhaps even try meditation. What ever works to help you manage through...go for it.
There are lots of wonderful caring people around and tons of info, leverage everyone's wisdom and don't be afraid to contribute, speak your mind, it's what makes this place so cool/supportive. Come join us crazies in chat sometime, we don't bite...really we don't
Regards,
Jerry

Thats the attitude
Yes there will be changes and adjustments and new things to try
It's just as important to relise the things you can't do anymore and not to let that pain you
Although I have a double kink fused joint - never had rods
I do enjoy my new life - got to - the oposite is unthinkable
At least you can watch Dallas loose again next season

You are still quite early on after your SCI so things will settle down, especially the discomfort from the Rods and screws because these are a foreign body that your body has to get used to.
Feel free to PM me or ask advice here, we are all happy to help and advise as much as we can.

I'm only 10 months in and a month out of hospital, starting the long journey of life phase 2 as well,
remember to keep smiling even if it's only on the inside, there is always something to distract you from the difficult times even for a moment.
Good luck and look forward to hearing how you get on.
