well i won't be makin it to camp.been climbing trees for 20 years,i'm a certified arborists isa.yesterday doing a pine removal i fell 25'' fractured my transverse process L1,L2,L3,L4.i'm still able to walk and look at crappie.com so im good.i'm gonna go get a wheelchair so i can still make it to ROCKFEST this saturday.
well I hate to be a spoil sport but you better sit your butt at home, now you can walk, maby after a roudy rockfest you wont, take it from a man who climbed for 20 years then got hurt, take care of your self or the wheel chair may be a new life style. nothing wrong with a wheel chair life style just a new learning curve to go through. be safe
dang, dude....hate to hear that! I have issues with L5/S1 so I can't imagine, but....get that healed up!
I'd be more concerned for my health right now instead of the rockfest. There will always be more of them.:rolleyes::o
Sorry to hear it. I also suffer from severe back trouble and have been through surgery and all the pain clinics youbcan think of. If you are even thing about going to rockfest you are very very lucky. Hope you have a speedy recovery from this and can continue with your job. Beagleman knows first hand what can happen when things go wrong with climbing. We don't want you to turn out as onery as him. Good luck and beat wishes for a full and painfree recovery.
None of the back, neck, knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, toes pain is any good! I'm lucky I guess my back doesn't bother me too much...just once in a while, but my knees are shot...except for the fake one. Good luck on your recovery, like they say, you can rock out anytime...but you gotta get healthy first!
i agree with mr beagle again clumb some myself 29 yrs only got 1 back hope you miss that weather down that wayQuote:

Wow that sucks, I bow hunt a lot and last year I broke down and bought a safety harness. I never fell out off a tree yet but it's better safe than sorry. My kids will be at Rockfest, they wanted me to go but I had my share of rock concerts growing up, maybe thats why my hearing sucks. :) I hope you have a fast recovery!!!!!!!!!!
thanks guys the ole lady went and sold the tickets to make sure we didn't go.more bumbed about missin crappie camp friday night.if i didn't have my hard hat on it would of been worse.atleast i got in on the best part of the spawn at smithville.
Sorry to hear it snake,hang in there and get healed up.
There will be another Rockfest. That seems like a lot of transverse processes to brake. Glad to hear you are able to walk. Hope all heals well.
I think he's well on his way, Jared!! :pQuote:

first thing i'm asked,are you going to climb again?if my body would let me i would be climbin today,when i'm in a tree all worrys go away and i get paid well to do something i love.i broke 1 and fractured 3 others.joedog without her i would be dead or in prison when her and the kids walked in the hospital room it was like 3 angels.my 2 daughters have been looking forward to rockfest since last year they said going without me wouldn't be right and sold there tickets also looks like tommorow will be a chili and board game day.i've always wondered if there were any other climbers on cdc,thanks guys readin cdc is all the fishin i'll be doing for a couple months.
man sorry to hear that snake, but your cdc brother's have given you great advice and i would say the same thing! take care of yourself first and get well... been to all the rockfest's since they started, except for last year and this year's... there will be plenty more bud... that's really cool your daughter's sold there ticket's, dad and mom must of raised them good:) board game and chili does'nt sound bad at all, oh and the royal's play at 3:10:) take care and keep your positive thinking, you'll be just fine!:)
Heard about it at camp, get well soon so you can make the next one. We’ll try to schedule around rockfest you head banger!Thumbs Up
