Hi I also broke my neck in a car accident. I fractured C1 C7 and other vetebraes in my back. I broke four ribs, and my wrist and had a closed head injury and an occipital fracture.

I too have been in rehab for a long time. I was partially paralyzed, in a wheel chair. I am now walking on my own, trying to rebuild my strength and lose the weight that I have put on because of this accident. I still have limited range of motion in my neck. Which I am working on. This is a long and hard process. It’s probably the worst thing that I have ever had to conquer in my life. I too was athletic,and that is the only reason that I am here today, being able to tell you about my injuries. I was in a HALO so I know exactly what you went through. Good Luck in your recovery.
