Get well soon mate!
Gave you some rep for that brother!My healing update
Found out my dislocated femur punctured my hamstring & popped out to say hello to the world
Thankfully only my T9-12 & L1-5 had the phlanges bits broken off (total of 9 vertebrae with multiple fractures each) and fractured hip and pelvis
Either way I got the nurse to stop giving the heavy pain meds on Saturday and now Monday night all that opioid crap has flushed out of my system and feel like a human being again. Still in pain but able to function mostly normal.
Friday I stood for the first time with 2 physio aides and frames.
Saturday I stood & had short walk -only 6 metres and sat upright for a while
Sunday walked myself to the toilet with a walker, and to the shower -man that felt nice to wash properly. Also walked a bit more and sat in the sunlight for the first time since Monday afternoon.
Monday (today) walked around hospital halls, showered, shaved, my wife cut my hair, bowels are beginning to function more regularly!
These smalls steps have made such a differrence, today the Rehab dr said that they may discharge me by the end of the week for outpatient rehab! Man I hope so, being in hospital surrounded by other sickening sights makes me so thankful that I have always been fit.
My wife & kids have to fly back to Sth Aus tomorrow morning, it has been fantastic to spend time with them.
With any luck I will be discharged on Friday to stay with my brother (who lives here) until I am fit enough to fly home too!

Good to hear that you're up and about mate.After 3.5 weeks away (originally planned 8 days) I finally got home last night!
My wife bought us a new king size bed, which means of room for me to transfer in out of.
I dont remenber ever holding my kids and wife for so long
The last 2 weeks without them has been awful, something I dont reccomend.
Healing wise still have a couple weeks to go using crutches to reduce pressure on my left hip & knee and my back brace is getting easier to deal with over long time periods
