Hey, Zip, I don't know all the rammifications of that, but I sincerely hope that it isn't too serious. Know that our prayers are still with you & your son as he recuperates.

Tell him to stay offa roofs in the future. That would have freaked me out, too.

I know roofs scare the bejeezus outta me, & insurance co's cost a frikken MINT for roofers. I ain't doing much of that these days, anyway.

Your faith & friends will pull you through. Just remember that.

He is always there Zip. And YOU can speak with him too. He told me its cool. God's speed in the recovery of your son.

Looks there shouldn't be any long term problems.
There's going to be a little physical therapy, and a lot of resting. So... it turned out about as good as it could have.
You would have had to be there I guess, but I really did not feel good about it when it happened.

So you could either say that we were very lucky, or that a higher power had a hand in things.

Phil: Ya, his roofing days are over. No more of that kind of crap.

Sans: Thank you for that. He is doing better than everyone thought he would right now. As far as being able to move around and not be in agony.

KIDD: I'll email you soon about stuff.

I'll be taking a break to keep him company and reflect on things.
Thanks again to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

Hey ZIP,

Yeah, its funny, cause as I recieved your news about the accident, I thought ,man, he cant be that old?..Teens are made of rubber..They bend quite nicely.. .Geez, I watch that goofy show "JackAss" and see those kids takin a beatin and marvel at how they come outta some of those antics smellin like a rose.. Then thought probably wont be that bad..Prolly just be "stoved" up a bit..SO YEAH BABY, great news!!!!

Tell him to take that PT serious.Im glad I did, my L5 S1 disk healed up becuase of PT...

Let me know how things are going...

Zip,

Cin and I are sorry to hear of the accident. As parents of three boys, we have known the feeling many times. It's a relief to know that your son is on the mend.

I have had a few unfortunate encounters involving gravity in my time.

If you havent done so already, perhaps you should give your dad a hug. As a Grandfather myself, I feel that that would go a long way toward mending a saddened heart.

John

Zip,

Sorry I didn't have time to post anything yesterday when I saw this, I was already running late.

Sure sorry to hear about this, I hope he's recuperating and doing well. I know quite well what kind of problems this can cause, some kid decided to push me off the slide sideways when I was 10, I still have back trouble but it's been doing pretty good the past few years.

Keep a close eye on things for a while, spinal injuries can take some time to develop into real problems, I thought nothing was wrong until I was around 18 when I really started having trouble, but did have a few minor bouts with it before that, just thought I had bruised something or pulled a muscle. I played baseball hard and a lot, thought that was causing it for years until I finally realized it was still happening years after I gave up baseball. Took me probably 20 years to figure out it originated when I got pushed off the slide, I finally remembered hearing something crack when I hit the ground and put two and two together...

Good luck to him, I really hope this didn't cause any long term problems, like I said I know all too well what that's like.
