Out for good

tinng321 · October 3rd, 2010, 04:07 PM

Hi guys. Just wanted to say hi and be careful out there. I went down last month, hit a pole and damaged my spinal cord. T2 and T3. Now I can't feel anything from my nipples down. I was in the hospital for 4 weeks. I am currently at Kessler rehab center. Please be careful and be safe.

RedCromwell · October 3rd, 2010, 04:17 PM

Sorry, I'm still a noob to this forum and you don't know me. But, I sincerely want to say I'm sorry to hear about your crash.

I do hope you recover and wish you the best.

DaBlue1 · October 3rd, 2010, 04:27 PM

Get Well Soon. It's always sad to hear when another rider goes down.

Flashmonkey · October 3rd, 2010, 04:28 PM

I'm sorry to hear that, Tin. I hope you can make a full recovery.

ally99 · October 3rd, 2010, 04:29 PM

OMG, that's awful man. I'm so sorry. :-( Is there hope that you will get your feeling back? Thanks for keeping us updated.

petiteninja · October 3rd, 2010, 04:49 PM

i'm really sorry to hear about your crash. are you on the path to a full recovery?

00NissanNinja · October 3rd, 2010, 05:05 PM

Sorry to hear that

. I hope you can make a full recovery with time.

Alex · October 3rd, 2010, 05:05 PM

Very sorry to hear about this, Tin!

highpsiguy · October 3rd, 2010, 05:53 PM

That is truly terrible. Please keep us posted on your recovery.

Rosie · October 3rd, 2010, 06:32 PM

I'm so sorry Tin

I really do hope you'll be able to get the feeling back.

50sGrl · October 3rd, 2010, 06:35 PM

I'm so sorry to hear of your crash outcome. I realize the last thing you might want to do is talk about the accident, especially since I recently crashed and totaled my FZ6R and I was annoyed by everybody asking me how it happened. But I suppose I do agree with their reasoning that if you remember and pass on any of the details, it might help some other riders avoid a similar situation by knowing more about how the accident came about.

You have my sincere wishes for the best sort of recovery possible.

edbro · October 3rd, 2010, 06:39 PM

Sorry to hear about a fellow Jersey guy go down.

Hope you make a full recovery, stay positive!

TrueFaith · October 3rd, 2010, 09:47 PM

Best wishes, man.
I've been reading about riders going down all summer, but in the few years I've been here and on KawiForum, nothing sucks worse than seeing someone who's posts you've read and responded to and who would pop in and out of the forums all the time suddenly post something like this.
I still remember when DNAlor (Roland) went down a couple of years ago on his white '08 and it's never far from my mind. And I've read too many posts like this since.

tinng321 · October 3rd, 2010, 10:53 PM

Thanks all for all the support. I don't remember how I crashed. My bro told me I hit a pole and went down a ditch. He says that there were several people who went down earlier that day at the same location but they all missed the pole.
All I remember was after the impact I was out and when I woke up I kept calling for help. I road was small and deserted. A while later there was a lady bicycling with her husband passed by and heard me. They didn't have their cellphone so she when to a near by house to use the phone.
The sugery report says that I damaged my t2 and t3 but maybe transacted. The surgeon talked to five of my family members. 3 heard 3/4 cut while 2 heard complete. They were tired from waiting for the sugery. I also fractured my ribs and collar bones. Had surgery on my shoulder several days ago. My dr at rehab says I'm complete. I know I will walk again. No doubt. I will walk again.

Blackwidow · October 4th, 2010, 07:26 AM

OMG! I was wondering where you were, haven't seen you on here for a while. I'm so sorry about your incident but i'm so glad you're ok, Tin! Stay positive and be patient throughout your recovery. Keep us updated.

Very sorry to hear you were hurt. Hope you have a full recovery, and I'll say a prayer for you.

Tin, You will walk again because you decided that you will. The mind is powerful. I am really sorry about your crash and will certainly keep you in my prayers. An aside: I have a friend who had a spinal injury. In addition to rehab, he was advised to take Alpha Lipoic Acid (Found in the Vitamin Section in a health food store.) His Neurologist at the VA Hospital made that recommendation. His outcome was very positive. Keep telling yourself that you don't have time for this and that you have things to do. Best Wishes, Alex.

Work hard and work thru it, some days will get u down (your entitled) but then push thru and move forward... I know its easy to say, but your personal will can move mountains.. keep positive and we'll see you up and about in time
