Topic	My 28y old nephew broke his neck, flown to hospital
DarkRoast 07/18/20 1:21:15 PM #24:	FF_Redux posted... Update: He is alive, no paralyzis yet, left side of body feels tingly. He is awake. 3 neck vertebra very broken. He is getting surgery on monday Not allowed to move neck at all. In the ICU. He fell 10 meters. Then got lucky to hit a large branch with his thigh that broke his fall a bit, then fell 3 meters down on his neck. Given the circumstances and what it sounds like, that's probably the best possible news. Sounds like he has some compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots, which means they'll be putting him on high-potency steroids like dexamethasone to decrease inflammation. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:942272274] in My 28y old...
