Right, so on Saturday, I got myself into a bit of a pickle. I was working at the surf school and saw a lady drifting out to sea and panicking. I swam out to pull her in but as I reached her and told her to jump up onto the board, she decided to use me to push herself onto it. She used my shoulder as a lever and my back crumpled under her weight and made it go into spasm. To cut a long story, about lifeguards, ambulance, morphine, spinal board, xrays bla bla bla, short, I left the hospital 8 hours later with strong pain killers and very little movement in my back and neck. I am now bed ridden and in a lot of pain! Not ideal when the waves have been fairly fun (so ive heard.) The next step is Physio, which will hopefully tell me the exact damage and recovery time. So fingers crossed ill be back in the water in no time as I have a new Watercooled board i'm itching to try out :)
