T12-L1 incomplete -- motorbike in 2001 aged 20

i had a bleed after the initial crash. Car flashed his headlights at another guy who was pulling out. The guy pulling out didnt bother his ass to look right so i ended up head butting his A pillar. I also got epilepsy just to add to the fun and 2 smashed up thumbs. Back then i kept taking the skin of the underside of my chin everytime i had a seizure! Got married two years ago all we need now is a flat house.

I thought of all the places in the world Bruce was the safest at work...wrong!!!
He drove too fast, hunted hogs with his bare hands, shot guns all the time, drank and did stupid stuff,raced boats, and was trying to become a cop. I'm not surprised it happened, but I'm surprised at how it happened!

Motorcycle accident in Nov 2005. T3 complete

[4estGimp]

I was 16 years old and riding my motorcycle at about 11PM. A 14 year old in a full sized pickup was stealing watermelons. He had his headlights out and ran a stop sign. I T'ed into the truck at 60mph. The sick irony? The truck was a Dodge. T5-T6 were crushed 20-30% and my spinal cord was "pulped" as the Dr. put it. Somehow I've been getting very slow regeneration over the past 21 years.

[wheeliebear75]

Wrong place wrong time @ 14yrs old (I posted my story). It's been 17yrs post accident for me. A sign fell hit me in the head but caused compression fracture L2 (the entire spine was pushed but only @ L2 was the break) and of course the impact cracked my skull and gave me a minor to moderate brain injury (yippy skippy ).
