Well, the Spine thread is not where really want to be posting right now, but since I fractured my L1, I have now choice.
In an effort to stay Fit to Fight or Fit for Freedom.. not sure what the current AF catch phrase is... I have been riding my bike to work 3 days a week. Well, last Tuesday. 30 Jun, I was hit by car that swerved into the center turn lane I was in to pass a car that was making a turn into a driveway. Well, I ended up in an Ambulance with a broken back.
Docs told me it would probably be 3 months before I could return to flying. Anyone have any experience with L1 fractures? What do I need to get off DNIF as a C-17 pilot? Also, how long until I can move around without this really uncomfortable back brace and crutches.
