...made me feel lucky huh christian?
And hey loren...i was just talking to leah. thanks for the all the love and the flowers, every thought and prayer meant so much. my backs healing fast cause i never liked sitting still much, and if nothing else I'll see you all out on the hiking trails before long. it's so good to hear from you though. And congrats on the b/f.
hey jeffers, thanks for the story. that really is encouraging. my accident was similar and i my surgery was a pretty new one. so i haven't had many people to compare my experiance with.

I'm thrilled to see a bit of spark still left there... already asking about people who have made it back to climbing, very good sign 
When I cut my thumb the doc said I would never play the piano again. I just told him "So... never knew how to play anyway". See docs don't know everything, he thought I played the darn piano

If anything you can always stick to easy stuff that you wouldn't likely fall on for as long as it takes, at least you'd be climbing.
Maybe a chest harness would help balance out a fall. Could some chest harness expert speak up about whether or not this could help?
If all else fails, with all the latest technology out there I bet something can be invented that will totally isolate the injuried area from a fall.
Rock on Lora!!
PS: Christian, I believe that accident may have contributed to his out of whack route setting abilities at the gym. He must see everything a bit lopsided now

I saw a guy lose a finger at roadside about 8 years ago. He got it sewed on and is still climbing, I think he is even a member of this bb. I was impressed with that.
I read an interview in one of the climbing mags about an amputee climber who did big walls at yosemite and said when he was hiking back to his car on his prosthetic legs, he felt guilty about parking in the handicap spot.
