Ruptured L3-L4 & herniated L5-S1 discs
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2020 6:13 pm
Guys & gals, I have been awfully quiet lately while I was trying to figure out exactly how badly I injured myself nearly 10 days ago when I slipped and caught myself before I totally busted my arse.
The two injured discs are 2 of 3 I busted initially over 20 years ago when I was in an airplane landing accident in San Diego. L5-S1 is basically your "tailbone" or rather the padding between it and your spine. I am likely going to be flat on my back for six weeks (or more), but exactly how long is impossible to predict.
I will follow up with more later, but I wanted y'all to know what was going on since I have several things going on that I have totally ignored for close to two weeks now.
Not much can be done except for rest and taking it very easy until my body regenerates and that just takes time. I have augmented my meds with lots of ibuprofen to help with the swelling, lidocaine patches and Tylenol twice a day. Beyond that, it is just a lot of pain to endure.
I did tape the 52+Joker Diamond Award for the Artist of the Year, but Lee has discretion over whether to utilize it. I am obviously in major pain.
