    I'll pray for you to find employment friend. Its a dog eat dog world out there right now and seems like decent jobs are far and few between. Don't give up on looking though somebody will realize your potential and give you a shot.

    I wish i could give you some good advice but shit man its a hell ride that may never end. I'm only 40 and have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis of the spine and hips. They say i'll be dealing with that forever and its what has caused me so much problems. They have some amazing disc surgeries they can do now days but most aren't available with disentegrating spine bones like mine. My last surgery was a (4) level fusion with (2) 4" screws angled out and down into my pelvic bones. Thats a total of (10) shiney titanium screws now. I'm a freak'n walking erector set. I'm not gonna tell you surgery is the answer but i had no choice. Good luck whatever happens with your back.

I spent 7 days in Barnes Jewish Hospt. St. Louis , Mo. this last time. I'm just finally starting physical therapy to try and get back at it again. I sure hope your ordeal heals up nicely for you and you can return to work and whatever else you love to do for fun. God i'm glad i had paid into my employers long term disability plan even though i bitched and moaned about the measily $11.25/week they deducted for it. You'll never hear me bitch about paying that again and never go without it people. You never know when one small incident will turn into a long term almost life changing issue.
    And likewise, I hope your spine issues have been dealt with and you do well. The physical therapy will no doubt be strenuous, but IMO, well worth it! I had back issues back in 1993-1994, and physical therapy was the single most key ingredient to me coming out better than before the injury!! It made me a believer, and the education on how to use my back safely is priceless.

    On the insurance note, I had/have UNUM....it's kinda like AFLAC, and when we had open enrollment just before my accident I had asked about how to cancel it and am soooooooooooooooooo glad that I didn't!!!!!

    I will elaborate on my injury just enough to say that; though it wasn't a compound fracture, my leg looked like something out of a sci-fi movie, fracture blisters, bones pushing at the skin like coat hangers in a trash bag, and my foot looked like some kind of an afterthought just sticking off the side of my leg. The most difficult part of the process was the tendon/ligament adhesion back to the bones that they were ripped from.

    I feel you on the USMC, that's how my knees finally went south!! The wouldn't pay any attention to the small issues, just kept drawing fluid off of it, and by the time I was finally outed for them, it was too late for rest and healing.....but had to make plenty of time for the 4 surgeries that I've had.

    Good luck with your back, and I wish I had some advice on the employment scene. And again, it was very nice speaking with you the other evening!
