Hello,

I broke my neck early Feb . I was told that I would not be able to kite till next november

Not sure if my spinal surgeon had too much piss tonight, but he allowed me to kite again!!!!

All my gear (that I had hidden in the darkest spot of the shed) is ready to be back on the water tomorrow after work and before dark!!!

AHAHAHAHA!!!!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(can you feel the excitment? )

Fred

Tops stuff!

Take it easy at 1st though bud, the wind is fluky and crap right now and inviting a bit of hassle.

Good luck.

Dude... well done. I broke my neck and back a few years "back" and couldn't wait to get back on the water. A few plates and screws and I was right as rain...Good luck and take care...

For memory...

Plan view of the vertebra: broken Chunk on the right hand side of the image:

That was me last year - broke my C2 playing footy... hardest thing when you get back into it is the initial lack of fitness - 12 weeks in a brace takes a lot to get back up to speed - second is the rush of blood - see the lip on the approaching wave and its bloody hard to hold back. Things will go crack and you will go ohhhhhhh but fingers crossed never as cracked as they were before!

Good luck and take it slow... hopefully its a 100% recovery - 95% for me but thank god everything still works!!!!

Surfing... I fell off my board vertically on my head in shallow water... I felt all the weight of the lower body increasing in my neck... then 2 cracking... pins and needles... and a stiff neck ...

I m not a good surfer... I prefer ksf

Lucky me

Hi Puppet,

I am very glad too

I had my second shot of adrenaline tonight. mmmmmmmmm It feels good!

When I think that I was *&^%$ lying down and immobilised in a hospital bed less than 3 months ago, i cannot believe it!!!
