Can I have some sympathy please, I walked around for two days with a fractured spine

[darksideofthemooncup]

I'm not getting a whole lot of sympathy or help at home.
I was thrown from a horse last Friday, I knew I'd hurt myself but thought as I could walk it couldn't be that bad.

Turns out I have multiple spinous process fractures, it's agony and although I will be fine and don't need any treatment other than rest and painkillers I am feeling extremely sorry for myself.

I should add I tried to brave it out then went to A+E last Sunday when it all got rather dramatic

I walked round with a broken neck for weeks. Only after I begged my gp for an X-ray did they find it. Needed emergency surgery.

Very painful so you have my sympathies

Oh my word!

What a thing to happen. You brave, brave person! If ever there was a reason for needing some extra helping hands, this is it! Have some and from me. Here’s hoping you’ll feel much better very soon!

Back pain is awful, you have my sympathy!
Sorry you are not getting it from your nearest and dearest, why is that?
Do the absolute minimum you can so that you do get the rest you need at the moment- time to be selfish in the short term, to prevent it becoming a long term problem.
And when you are well enough to ride again, then make sure you have the best back protection you can get.

Faded, I don't think I will be riding again, it was such a freak accident, in a ménage My horse went from trot to bucking in the blink of an eye. Thank you I just wanted to have a moan and feel sorry for myself!

Sounds horrendous! Poor you!

Thanks all, I feel very lucky as it could have been so much worse

I hope you are getting loads of sympathy in the real world . It sounds like a thigh to neck cast would enduce more ! What a fright , sounds horrific

I’m sorry , I re read your post re you are not getting sympathy.. why is this ?

This, I think my H sees it as a self induced injury and therefore undeserving of sympathy or help. Put it this way, he moaned about having to take me to A+E, left me there alone, moaned about having to pick me up and has been to play golf and is off to watch football with one of his friends tomorrow. He has made me one meal and I'm lucky if I get a cup of coffee in the morning.
One of the reasons I didn't go to hospital straight away was because I knew he would be pissed off at having to look after our Dd

Can you gain some fractures and lose a relatioship?

Break your back and break your relationship?

He sounds like a prize cunt.

Political couldn't have put it better myself. Apparently he is very stressed at the moment.

So, your husband is refusing to help you or show you any sympathy or love or care after your freak riding accident induced BROKEN BACK?? And getting "pissed off" at the prospect of looking after his own child?

Jesus, what a catch. Fuck me. I'd be out that door as soon as my back was up to it.

Sorry you're having a shit time of it darkside and sorry you married an utter dickwad.

Good God your poor spine. I'msorry that your H is such an unsympathetic shit head. Is he always this much of cunt.
Your poor neck as well, Martin.
Just bloody shows you. You don't know what you're walking around with.

You are all lovely and have made me laugh ( which hurts a bit) and are absolutely right about my H. This is the icing on a rather turgid cake and I am considering my exit plan.

New year, new start?

Hope your back heals quickly.

I am considering my exit plan.

A wise move, well done.

How are you feeling this morning?

Maybe life has given you what you need.
Time to observe your hs lack of empathy, emotional intelligence and love.
And time to plan your exit.

Sweetbabyjesus, I'm ok. Drove for the fist time and it was fine (apart from the getting in and out bit)
I'm definitely taking stock, our marriage has been in trouble for some time but his complete lack of sympathy or understanding has cemented my resolve.

First not fist!

Ouch! Sympathy for the back and the unsupportive husband.

Your user name amused me

I'm laughing at the idea of a turgid cake! I suggest a bottle of champagne and a nice turgid cake when you get your divorce!

Did you get back on before you went to Hospital though?

Was paralysed with pain after a fall from a horse, you have my sympathy

Id break the relationship with your "d"h he doesnt sound nice at all. Its not as if you purposefully went out to ride your horse and say fuck it im going to break my back for the giggle
