Ben, I look pretty funny right now as well. I've been told I look like a hunchback in a straight jacket. My back will only keep me upright for about thirty minutes. After that I need a cain.

Wow, guys. Hate to hear about the sabbaticals. I went over the handlebars on my dirtbike at about 60 mph+ in the woods and I had a fractured T5 veretebrae, but it wasn't enough to warrant much of any other treatment besides "Don't do that again for a couple of months." Even though I had a full body bone scan I'm getting paranoid.
I usually do wear the EVS collar in the woods and I think that when I severely broke my collarbone at TWS the break was right where the edge of my helmet is...do the math. But, considering that I'm not sure how much of a difference the collar would have made realistically given the forces at work there. But perhaps my break wouldn't have been that severe. Don't know. Never will for sure.
But...telling folks (even your patients) that you got hurt riding a motorcycle is way better than saying you fell in the bathroom, isn't it?
Relax and heal up.
