All About Me and My Summer in a Brace

My First Blog

So this is my first blog! Since the last day of school and the trampoline accident I have had the opportunity to learn new things and create this blog! Hopefully this will keep me entertained.
Let me explain:
It was the last day of school and I was at a friend's house and we went next door to jump on his neighbor's trampoline. We decided to try a double jump, it was cool because we were flying! Unfortunately on one of the jumps I decided to try it on my knees, I arched forward and crushed my back!
I was in the hospital for five days- a looooooong 5 days. I had to have 2 MRIs, the first was really painful because they had no pillow and I was on a hard board and it was 3 in the morning. The second MRI they gave me medicine to help me fall asleep so when the beeping would stop I would start to doze off and then it would beep again and it would make me jump and they would have to start over again- UGH!
The MRIs showed that I had injured vertebrae T9 and T6. The doctors decided to put me in a backbrace from the neck to the pelvis!!!!! I am stuck in this for minimum of 3 months!! My WHOLE Summer!!
