New to board don't feel so alone anymore, but still scared

Hi to all,

Especially you Chrissy for making me feel welcome, compared to most of you my problems were easy to find. My son and I were rear ended on May 12th of this year, by a young girl doing around 45mph while we were stopped at a light.I saw her coming and braced for it (BAD IDEA) so my body took the impact full force, and it ruptured the discs betwee 5 & 6 and 6 & 7 plus a compression fracture at the t 7. One disc blew to the left and one to the right. The dr's said between 6&7 are the worst so i'm assuming thats the one that went to the right since thats the side giving me the most problems.Both discs are pushing on my spinal cord ,I'm sure I don't have to explain the pain to anyone here ,you all know........Theres tons more I'd like to say but I'm headed for the one thing thats semi good out of this ......my massage..ahhhh one hour of calm and feeling good ....better than drugs.

Have the best day you can,
Misfit
