I'm sorry if I'm late but i also broke neck a little while ago. I was on vacation in Mexico and had the dumb idea to climb on a roof. I fell straight through and woke up in the hospital with my c5, c6, and c7 broken.

During my recovery that people would come up to me and ask why i had the neck brace and the giant scar and several times i made up stories like "I got stabbed in the neck while fighting off a burglar."

I also spent a lot of time watching netflix and playing hearthstone. I was wondering what you did during your recovery to pass the time?

lol i really wish i had said something like that! None of my stories were this good. I hope your mom is doing okay now

As closed as fully recovered as you can get. There are times where I wake up with a stiff neck and i do get headaches quite frequently. Its been around a year since my accident and i've been working out regularly for a little over a month.

It's definitively not a dumb question. There was a long period of time where i didn't think i'd be able to recover this well. First, I was still in mexico when i had my surgery. The doctors said i wouldnt survive a plane to the U.S. Second, because of the number of vertebrae i had broken, there was a significant chance of the surgery failing. Then a few months into recovery, the screws in my neck started coming loose.
