So I’ve been slacking on updating the blog for a while. At first it was because I didn’t have much to write about. Mother’s day, birthdays, etc. They all limited my kitchen time to a couple hours a week -but headway was being made. But now there’s another wrench in the mix. I took a bit of a header playing roller hockey last week, and ended up in the hospital. Long story short, I ended up going head-first into the boards and was basically paralyzed from the neck down for a couple minutes. An MRI and a CT scan later, the doctors say I have a contusion on my spinal cord around my second and third vertebrae. Though I don’t know exactly what my long term prognosis is at the moment (I’m supposed to see the neurologist this week) I do know that I’ll be in a neck restraint for a couple weeks. That coupled with the shooting pains in my shoulders has really put a damper on the whole kitchen project. I’m really bummed about the whole thing, but I’ve actually seen some improvement in my situation over the last two days. I went from popping vicadin like candy and laying flat on my back for 10 hours a day to almost being able to walk around like a normal human again. I’m not able to do much manual labor yet, but that’ll come.
Will keep you all posted on the progress…
