Hi my name is mark and i'm a L1,L2  complete . I new to this site and enjoyed reading about everybodys stories about there lives. I fell from a tree on august the 20th of this year. I don't remember anything about the accident itself. The last thing I remember was kissing my girlfriend goodbye for work and then I was going to trim some trees or so I thought. The next thing I remember it was wednesday afternoon and thats when I started to relize what had happened. I guess the body and mind have a strange way to block out things when they are this bad. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever remember and sometimes I think its better that i don't. Anyway I spent the next month in the hospital and the next month after that at mount vernon rehab. I am home now and learning to adjust to my new life trying hard to keep my spirits up. I go to physical therapy 3 times a week and thats painful but I still look forward to it. I've always been a very active person and kind of a workaholic. Now that im home everyday i'm not to sure what to due with myself. I look at everyday as a new adventure and try as many new things as possible in a single day so work so don't but even when I could walk everything dosen't always work as planned but you just have to keep trying. Well I've taken up enough of everyones time for now but looking forward to meeting all of you someday. I hope everybody has a great christmas and a wonderful new year . Try to stay on the positive as much as possible it does make it a little easier.
