That is an incredible story of survival. I was in an accident almost 2 years ago that could have been bad, or minor circumstances could have been different and I could have missed it entirely. I had one compression fracture and that is the thing that has bothered me the most, although I can continually thank God that it wasn't worse.
Are you getting any treatment for the compression fractures? I understand from research that there are some treatment methods that they can do within days of an accident, but in my case the fracture wasn't detected until much later and the treatment methods were no longer options for me.
