Looks like he will be able to walk again. He is in rehab another 2 weeks still..but he took 6 assisted steps yesterday. I get to go clear out his apartment today....so much fun

 

what happen to your buddy...i think i missed the thread......why do you have to clean out his apartment

 

Well he had moved 250 miles from home...and he is back living at home.....well will be soon. He had been having back problems...went to a chiropractor who didnt take any xrays....and proceded to stretch is back out. Turns out he had a growth on his vertebre that already stretched his spinal cord out....and then the chiropractor almost paralyzed him. He had 6 vertebre in his back fused....and still has a slipped disk. He will be in rehab another 2 weeks...and im pushing his mom to push his dr to put him in a assisted living center for a little while. I went and visited him yesterday...his legs are small as hell. He has lost like 30lbs....down to like 290lbs. he is also 6'6' so its hard to find equipment for him to work out with. The reason im clearing out his apartment is cuz he wont be there for atleast another year probably. So why pay for something he isnt gonna use.

 

wow i did miss that memo......good to hear that he is on his way to recovering......my dad had hurt his back i forgot what exactly but he had surgery and it has took him a long time to recover to where he is at now.....he still gets sore but is able to do a whole lot more......i would recomend not going to that chiropractor anymore either from what it sounds like...at least i wouldnt...makes perfect sense now why you are going to pack his things....

 

chiropractor is gonna get served with a lawsuit in the next couple months.

 

seriously that was some lazy practice he did

 

It's good to hear your friend is doing better. I hate when dr's get away with malpractice I'm sure he will hate to see that law suit against him.

 

Dang Tx, you have been just full of brightness these last few weeks! I wish your friend the best though.

 

Glad he's doing better TX......

 

Yeah glad to hear he is doing better.... I can relat with 15 years of back pains and now neck enjuries.... lots of fun.
