my story.. slipped on a mexican tile step during a typical torrential downpour about 4 years ago.. had zero time to react.. didnt even get a hand down to soften the impact.. hit my back between the shoulder blades on the top stair edge.. (no alcohol involved.. hhehehe)..

result after some serious misdiagnosis - fractured t4 vertabre.

absolutely NOTHING they could do but give you pain pills and say "take care".

just have to wait it out and take the time to let it heal .. took about 1 year for me to be back to my old self tho it's never felt 100% right since .. but i did go to a physical therapist to get a specialist to go over my injury to ensure that kiting would not damage it more..

funny that he said kiting would be fine.. but that I should avoid sitting for long hours in front of a computer or similar.. guess what i do most all day at work.. ugh.

oh well.. pays the bills.. kiting does not.
