Answer #1

what have the docs said? my personal advice wont really matter because I am not a doctor, but as moral support, the first thing I would do is:

  1. pray to god for some spiritual guidance…i am not religious or anything, but i do believe in god…and the first thing that you need on this journey to recovery is faith…you have to believe with everything in you that you are going to get better it is just a matter of time & how you make it through another day!
  2. physical therapy once you are feeling a little better is another thought…it will motivate you til you can get back on your feet again once you have slowly healed. I have known people who have been in accidents and were told they will never make it & already advised the family immediately stay with them & even prepared them with a priest…guess what…that person not only make it after almost being loosing his life 2x one in the ambulance before he even got to the emergency room and had to shock him back to life…the sec time was on the operating table…he had so many bones broken, a punctured lung, fractured ribs, his jaw was broken & also had to have surgery to correct it…his entire vertebrae was crushed & had to have a metal rod literally holding him up to be able to move & 28 assorted surgeries for all the repairs…yes he could have died…& yes he could have just given up but with the physical therapy & a lot of determination to push when doctors say there is no hope….So dont underestimate the power you have, all it takes is will power to fight & then succeed when people say there is no hope! The said he would be in a wheelchair forever if he ever made it up…(so what they said…big deal…)today he walks around maybe using a cane, or a walker on bad days…but he is walking…a long way from being almost dead or in a wheel chair…now if that doesnt inspire you to recover & claim your life back…I dont know what will!
  3. a support system…no one & i mean no one wants or needs to go through all this alone…your family & friends want to help you get better…maybe even a gf or bf (either or, not judgmental here:)) can always be another support system…dont push them away just because you are feeling sorry for yourself at the moment…you need all the support you can get…accept it with love & respect…know that you are blessed & surrounded by people that love you & want to see you get better…so help them help you by accepting what ever it is they want to do or give you to help you put on this quest to help you cope & strengthen your faith, desire & need to complete this road to recovery!

I wish you all the luck in the world for you are truly in for a long journey…and if you just feel like venting you an feel free to funmail me anytime & i will try to help in any way I can. Just hang in there…& remember to keep the faith!

Answer #5

if the docs have advised not to move around a lot then dont for now…til it heals & you get the ok to start moving things along!

as for the story…yes you are much better off then he is…and if he could survive that due to the will to live & the support he had…plus the faith he had…that is why you too need all that on your side… he wanted to prove all the doc’s wrong…and he did…that takes a lot of will power…and a lot of inner strength…to keep pushing yourself even when it hurts like a mofo…you just have to keep at it…that determination will motivate you to be all you can be & a lil more!

just take it slow…one day at a time…and remember when the doctor gives you the ok, then you begin the physical therapy…not before…just allow your body to heal by focusing on other things…chin up sweetie! ♥
