Kyle Schwarber: World Series hero, Beefy Lad, better than you.

Illegal Hen
Heres an update on his girls as of a few hours ago. They're both in really rough shape.

quote:

Josh Wharton, a family friend of the late Jay Briscoe, has provided an update on the health of Gracie and Jayleigh — Jay's two daughters who suffered severe injuries in the auto accident that led to the wrestler's death.

According to Wharton's Facebook page, Gracie "could not feel anything from the waist down" post-accident when she was admitted to a local hospital, where she was diagnosed with an L2 dislocation, L3 and L4 fractures, and spinal cord compression. Once she was stabilized and transferred to a bigger hospital, Gracie got feeling back in her thighs but continued to feel nothing below her knee. She ultimately underwent surgery around 3 AM on Wednesday, the 18th of January. The doctors were able to relieve the compression in her spinal cord and the surgery went as well as possible.

Gracie, 12, continues to deal with swelling and trauma in her spinal cord, as doctors play "the waiting game" hoping for a full recovery. On a positive note, she experienced "tingling in her feet" on and off Thursday, and doctors expect her progress to occur on a day-to-day basis. 

As of Thursday night, Gracie does not have feeling back in her legs. However, fortunately, she is not diagnosed with any other injuries.

Meanwhile, Jayleigh, 9, was diagnosed with an open tibia and fibular fracture at a local hospital, where she underwent surgery. The doctors placed her in an external fixator and sent her to a bigger hospital, where she remains. 

Jayleigh, diagnosed with a C7 fracture, is expected to remain in a neck brace for another six weeks. She is also dealing with L3 and L4 fractures, which will keep her in a back brace for another 12 weeks. She also has a broken rib on the right side. Furthermore, she suffered from internal bleeding Thursday, but the doctors performed bowel resection surgery and corrected the issue. 

Wharton has also shared a text message he received from Ashley, the wife of Jay.

"Both girls are in a lot of pain," read the text from Ashley. "We would like to express how thankful we are for the outpouring of support from our community and the wrestling community worldwide."

They count from the neck down, right? So L2, L3 would be up in the neck?

I'm just going off the below image, but it appears that L stands for lumbar which means that L2 and L3 are in the lower back.

Yeah, L1 through L5 are the parts of the spine that control the nerves for the legs. L2 and L3 (along with L4) specifically control leg movement in the thigh and knee.

Yeah, neck injuries would be your C, cervical, vertebrae. I have a damaged disk at c6-c7 so at the base of the neck.

I fractured my L1 about 13/14 years ago and was in a brace for 3ish months (2/3 weeks of it on 24/7 and then was allowed to use it less and less). It sucked, but can't imagine what these young women are going through, sounds like they are in good care though.

Gracie has regained feeling in her legs, and has some movement in her lower extremities.

I knew him only as Ric Flair's first match.

Man, Lanny was my favorite jobber when I was a kid. My friend caught one of his frisbees at a show. I was jealous.

If I am not mistaken, Lanny Poffo is one of the few men to hold a winning record in matches vs Hogan as well.

All of the people wishing a famous Memphis Wrestling Jerry would die last week got the wrong guy.

So it goes, I will always remember him for posting the Mona Lisa looks like a bitch.

quote:

The following post is for clarification purposes. In an earlier post here I gave a version of Bob Ryders opinion on the ill feelings between him and Dave and Wade. I had made assumptions that the way I presented it, made it clear that this was the explanation that Ryder gave me. My assumption was wrong. Therefore let me apologize to any and all who were offended. The last line in the paragraph was very misleading. I said something to the effect that this gave me an understanding. (If someone will tell me how to cut and paste here, it will be appreciated) I should have better used the English language. "This explanation from Bob gives a person another option in attempting to understand the situation." I did not mean to convey that I believed one side against the other. Re-reading my post could easily lead someone to conclude that I took Bob's opinion as the final opinion, or the right slant on the misunderstanding. I got in trouble another time for taking the wrong opinion. I was in a class for art appreciation. I expressed the opinion that the "Mona Lisa" was a picture of an ugle b..., with a smirk on her face. I was asked to leave the class. People can sometime see the same thing and have very different opinions. And sometime we should just keep our mouths shut and not express an opinion either way. My wife once asked as we were leaving the house, if I liked her new dress. I said yes, if we are going to a Halloween costume party. She didn't speak to me during dinner that night.
