My sister hit me while we were playing tennis. I think she seriously fractured something in my hand....but I'm too embarrassed to go to the doctor
Just checking my head was still there.
WARNING
If you are ever standing on a tree branch whilst sawing make sure you are standing on the correct end otherwise once you saw through the branch it will spring back and hit you on the head.

Sascha, a German friend, and I treked to a waterfall which lasted three kilometers after a short rickshaw to Daramkot. The waterfall was beautiful, but I wound up at a crossroads weather or not to step on a rickety log that looked as if it going to float away or jump to the next rock over. I ended up jumping to the next rock which was slightly diagonal. My foot stayed with the rock and my leg went across causing a loud crack as if several celery sticks were just broken. I severely sprained (hopefully not broken) my ankle after the jump. I cursed myself because I was three kilometers away from a place with roads. Luckily, I was near the freezing water from the falls, so I dunked it to slow the swelling.
Afterward, I kept my leg elevated on the rocks and repeated the process until my foot felt frozen. After that Sascha and I made the slower trek back with a taxi waiting for us. Expensive, but it was worth every rupee. I got some cream from a pharmacist before he closes and some apple beer to help me sleep. It’s dark now. I will see a doctor in the morning.
CERVICAL SPINE MOVEMENT INTER-VERTEBRAL DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE courtroom illustrations
Shows degenerative disc disease at C5-6 in the lateral view and the limitations in flexion-extension, lateral flexion and rotation due to the disease.
INTERVERTEBRAL DISC HEALTH
When you sit, stand up, bend or twist, large compressive forces are applied to your spine. There are several factors that determine the ability of your inter-vertebral discs to handle these forces:
your inherited make-up
disc health – worsened by smoking, poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, weak muscles, and obesity
ageing
poor posture – while sitting, standing and lifting
heavy loads during home, work or sporting activities.
DISC INJURY
Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease courtroom illustrations
When the forces applied to your neck exceed the strength of your discs, minor injuries to the disc can occur. It is important to note these injuries may or may not hurt at the time they occur.
DISC DEGENERATION
Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease courtroom illustrations
As the continuous stresses and repeated injuries accumulate, they cause wear and tear on the spine’s discs and joints. Some people are more susceptible to this degeneration, for reasons that are unclear. this disease process is called osteo-arthritis or spondylosis.
Often the annulus of the inter-vertebral disc is the first area injured. Small tears occur that heal with weaker scar tissue. As more scar tissue accumulates, the annulus becomes weaker overall.
This damages the inner nucleus, which loses it cushioning water content, and begins to dry up and stiffen. It changes from a jelly-like consistency, to more like crab meat. As it dries up, the height of the disc collapses. The decreased cushioning ability of the drier, weaker nucleus leads to even more stress on the annulus, and further annulus damage and nucleus collapse.
The attachment of the disc to the vertebra is placed under a lot of stress by this disc collapse, and the vertebra reacts by growing more bone in an attempt to get stronger. This can be seen as vertebral lipping (osteophytes, spurs) at the edges of the vertebral body and the unco-vertebral joints. This lipping can encroach on the spinal canal and adjacent nerves.
The alignment of the facet joints at the back of the spine alters to accommodate the disc collapse. This changes the way in which the facets slide over each other, causing increased wear of the cartilage on the joint surface. The cartilage frays, and is ground down to the underlying bone. When this facet joint osteo-arthritis or spondylosis occurs, the bone around the facet joint is irritated, and grows in an attempt to stop the excess motion.
These facet joint bone spurs, or osteophytes enlarge, and can grow into the intervertebral foramen or spinal canal, where they can compress the spinal nerve and the adjacent spinal cord.
The ligamentum flavum runs along the back of the spinal canal from one vertebra to the next. As the disc height collapses, and the adjacent vertebra move closer together, the ligamentum flavum thickens and buckles into the spinal canal, placing additional pressure on the spinal cord. Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease courtroom illustrations.
SUMMARY
So osteo-arthritis or spondylosis is a degenerative process that involves disc collapse and bulging, vertebral body and unco-vertebral joint lipping, facet joint osteophytes, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, and the slipping of the adjacent vertebra. This disease can put pressure on the spinal cord and adjacent nerves, and can cause pain.
TREATMENT
Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease courtroom illustrations.
Although osteo-arthritis or spondylosis can not be reversed, there are things that you can do to slow it down and control any pain.
The safest and most effective treatments for osteo-arthritis or spondylosis include :
Stop smoking
Physical therapies - correct posture, activity modification (avoiding excess neck movements, physical activities above shoulder level), low impact and flexibility, strength and endurance exercises, hydrotherapy, physical therapy modalities such as heat, ice, massage, and manipulation or mobilization
Medications - early aggressive use of medication to reduce pain, inflammation, muscle spasm and sleep disturbance
Other treatments – ie acupuncture, ultrasound, laser, short-wave diathermy.
The use of neck bracing and acupuncture is controversial.
The amount of pain experienced from degenerative disc disease (osteo-arthritis, spondylosis) varies widely. This may be due to differing degrees of instability, scarring of the disc and facet joint osteo-arthritis. Once the degeneration is advanced, and the instability produces uncontrollable pain, or the pressure on the nerves affects their functioning, then your clinician will consider fusing the two vertebrae together, or inserting an artificial intervertebral disc.

Well... Darrell no longer has the cast/splint... he has been upgraded to an air cast.
The torn ligaments are slowly healing... he got the news that he is off work (even light duties) for a minimum of 3 weeks... it's driving him nuts to be home...
He's officially been off work longer than he worked... and now 3 more weeks on top of it... just when he finds a job that he likes... sigh...
The ILO and the Korea Partnership Programme provided technical assistance to the Royal Government of Cambodia to create, maintain and expand its accident and injury compensation scheme known as the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), under the auspices of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training.
This young women lost an arm in a motorcycle injury, and is a beneficiary of the project. She is unable to return to her job at a garment factory, and so she is now reliant on a monthly disability income from Cambodia’s Employment Injury Insurance scheme. She will receive the benefit for life. © ILO/A.DOW

Newington's Jake Owczarski (11) is treated on the field after being knock unconscious during Tuesday's soccer match at Bristol Central.
So this may have been a first. Two players taken away by ambulance, one with a concussion. Then 36 seconds after the clock was restarted play was stopped again for another player with a broken leg, torn ligaments, etc. So three injuries, two serious.

Catastrophic injuries and amputations can occur from many different personal injury accidents. Some individuals walk away from these accidents with minor bruises while others experience life-changing injuries. Accidents involving amputations will alter someone’s life forever. The Amputee Coalition Organization reported that about 2 million individuals live with an amputated limb and about 185,000 amputations occur … Continue reading "Catastrophic Injury Law"

I haven't been around for awhile because I fell down the stairs and really twisted my ankle, or it was the twisted ankle that caused me to fall down the stairs. Either way I really thought it was broken, but it is doing much better now.
7/31/12 - Helium dot com is using this photo illegally on their site. I wrote to them and they told me it is flickr's fault and I should have all my photos marked "private" or they have the right to steal from me. Amazing.
I twisted my ankle pretty badly, but don't have the luxury of resting it. This is how it looked after removing the bandage after work. For as bad as it looks it seems to be healing very quickly.
On June 3, 2017 I injured myself hiking. Not sure how it happened, all I know I was slipping and then fell backwards into the water. As I fell I could see the injury on my shin and said to myself, "you're OK Raquel." Hand was also injured, still have hematoma on my cheekbone. Was treating it with Neosporin but later a wound specialist gave me medicinal honey made with special pollen from New Zealand. The same doctor who stitched me up misdiagnosed skin infection (Cellulitis, note the purple marker on my leg) and gave me nasty antibiotics (Clindamycin), which made me feel sick. Had to hike a mile by myself to the car in 103-degree weather. I soaked my dress in the water, ate an Ativan and drove to the hospital. Doctor asked if anything hurt, I said "no." Endorphins are powerful painkillers, I kept telling them, "I'm lucky to be alive"! Took about 5 weeks to heal. Canyon is where it happened, over on the left, out of the picture. It was the last pic I took that day.
