Unhappy My hubby fractured his back

he's part of a special forces unit and they jump out of airplanes every few weeks. he's been doing it so often lately that it's become routine and I have only been slightly worried the last few times he did it. then today he texts me telling me he landed wrong and he's in a ton of pain. He was walking around afterwards, so he thought it was just a bad land that he could walk off. luckily the medics on site were quick to respond and force him to get it looked at because he's totally the type to just try and tough stuff out. Anyway, he's got a hairline fracture on his lower spine and thankfully it's not worse than it is. They say the recovery time is about a month, so he's very lucky in that respect. We could use some prayers though as he is in a lot of pain and if he doesn't recover right, he could get medically discharged from the army which would leave us in a bit of a pickle money wise.

thanks ladies!

ps. sorry for my million posts lately

Oh, no! I hope he recovers quickly and fully. Good thing the medics made him get it looked at right away.

Thanks ladies. The Army isn't letting him have time off and they're making him still go to work so I'm a bit worried. I swear they're looking for reasons to get rid of guys lately. It has me worried on top of worrying about him.

if he hasn't seen ortho yet, insist on a consult. We're dealing with some stuff right now and the unit medic didn't give DH a profile for no PT, and the specialist was pissed because the fact that they still expected him to PT and such really delayed his healing process.

I was going to ask what his profile says since that's what the command will base their decision on and unless it specifically says he can't do anything then no, they won't let him sit at home.

He's got an MRI scheduled for today and I hope they let him off of PT at least. He can walk so I'm not surprised they're not giving him time off.

most likely he'll be off PT and have a weight limit as to what he's allowed to carry is my guess. that should at least help

I am so sorry Adi, poor guy, that has to be painful. I know what you mean about the type of man that tries and work through it. Its good in a sense but then you worry about them hurting themselves more. I hope he heals quickly and well and that work gives him some sort of reprieve even if it isn't fully off work
