So they stayed, made sure I was okay, and we just kind of waited for a while.

And the news I got was sobering.

I did not expect to hear that I broke my C1 in two places.

I broke my C6, but the fact that they were so flippant about my C6, ah, the C6 is not a big deal.

It's the C1 that's the real concern.

So then after that... It's the one right under your skull.

Yes, it's the...

very close to your brain stem.

Of all the vertebrae, that's the one where everything's on the table as far as stroke, paralysis, death.

All the things that are life changing or life ending.

So yeah, getting that news was, okay, life is going to be a little different.

But honestly, even...

Even after they gave me that diagnosis, there was still some hope that I would be just in a hard collar.

I can't remember if it was six weeks or eight weeks, but somewhere in that four to eight weeks.

So a month or two of being in a hard collar, and they thought there was a good chance that I could come back.

But we took more tests.

And honestly, the issue long term was, so they wanted my C1.

So I have what's called a burst fracture or a Jefferson fracture.

And that's when the C1, it's like a ring.

And on opposite sides of that ring are where the C1 was broken.
