had a motorbike accident, low speed but hit head on a metal railing smashing crash helmet and sending force down my back. Spent 6 days laid flat in hospital waiting for surgery as fracture was unstable. Was lucky not to be paralysed. Have had 6 pins, 2 rods and a plate fitted to fuse 3 of my vertebrae together so now on rest for quite a length of time.

I'm on very strong pain killers and concentrating on things like reading and remembering is very difficult at the moment.

Should make full recovery eventually though

thanks for suggestions so far,
