Okay I know you guys aren't bitching, but if you ever think you've had it bad, watch this video. Back story: In August 2007 Jamie Gillentine dove head first into the ocean. But he didn’t know it was a sand bar. Jamie Gillentine shattered his 6th cervical vertebrae. Spinal fragments were lodged in his spinal cord. Jamie Gillentine lost all feeling and movement from his upper-chest down to his legs. He had some arm movement but no hand dexterity. Here’s a video of his recovery which took several months.  |

I had a friend that I used to game with that lived in North Carolina, his nephew used to play with us from time to time. He did the exact same thing at a lake, dove off of a swim platform on the lake and landed head first on a tree stump. It was very sad, he was fucked up for quite a while. His parents ended up moving out by me in California several years later and I went over to say howdy. He was mostly recovered but one of his hands was wierd as a result of it.
Someone always has it worse. I complain from time to time but I always know things can be worse. |
