Oh no, sad and tragic.
I know those pains of a broken spine. In 2006 I broke my spine (L2 and L3) too when falling from the roof of a barn,
Worst time ever. Every move was pure pain and hopelessness.
It took me about 6 months to learn walking again and another 3 months to shoot a 15lbs- bow and another 3 months to get back in bow- making.
Best medicine was to begin physical therapy as soon as possible, as often as possible and to stay very close to my family and friends. My wife and my daughters and a great physical therapist gave me the final hope to get by with it.
About one year and a half I was back in bowery, bow- classes...........back in daily life, a long time but anyway a time I should not have missed. Life is precious.
I'll never be able to shoot a 50lbs+ - bow, to cut wood is aching, every 2-3 months I need some sessions with my physio but life goes on and I guess I enjoy it more.
All my best wishes for you and your family.
Michael
