Car Crash
Mate just rolled his car and broke his back 
not being funny but the way he drove it was coming, just been told he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life it has really opened my eyes up seeing how its turned his life upside down! fair play to him trying to keep his chin up! let this be a lesson!!!!

been there (broken back), but can't say i've done that (crashed the car while doing it) but it's a long hard slog
depending on how it's broken it can be sorted easier or harder
normally, the higher up it is the worse it tends to be, mine was just below the rib cage at the middle of teh back (and also my tail bone) amongst other things and they said the same thing to me, "wheelchair for the rest of your life, don't expect to walk again, etc" but i'm thinking it's more of a "get ready to be fucked, but there is always the cahnce things will get better soon"
the first 3 months will be the worst, i didn't get feeling back in my legs for around a year afterwards and was in a body brace with bags for my excreations etc so life is pretty shit and it's not soemthng i would choose to go through again, but there is always the chance things will get better so just tell hm to look forward to that day
even if he's done his spinal cord, unless it's been ripped to shreads, it's still possible to get back to a normal life again
he'll be depressed and stuff but the thing is to tell him to focus on the fact that he's still alive and can do stuff rather than his family remembering him on his birthday if he were dead
callous in some eyes but it's the truth and he'll have to come to understand it one day
for ages i wanted to end it all, i wanted to have not had the machine keeping me going for 10 days and all the other things that went with it, but look at me now, i'm so glad i'm alive and i live everyday for today knowing that i've been given the second chance to kick start my life again
ok, rambln ramble at an end now

PassionFord Post Whore!!
His friends and family have to help him stay positive,if he loses hope then he loses the battle.
I hope that the doctors and nurses can give him the medical attention he needs for his rehabilitation.
