What do you have that is Ti plated? 6 of my 9 broken ribs have Ti plating, and I did that before I learned how to dive. Although, I was still doing physio for my accident, when I learned how to scuba.
I have a plate and six screws in my neck so 5-7 is fused and 3-5 is paper thin as well as 7-t1 - I can't look up so it's impossible for me to swim prone in the water. I tried air filled caving but when I'm crawling I end up stuck staring at the floor using my hard had to figure out which way the tunnel runs.
Climbing sucks too, kinda hard to find a line when you have to contort your entire body to look up.
After I recovered from surgery reality hit me so I just walked away from it all, all at once.
Deleted all my group memberships and followings on FB etc because I'd see posts and pictures and it would punch me right in the feels.
To this day I'll dream about it and wake up all excited that I can dive again then I fully wake up and realize I was dreaming and it bums me out.
How did it happen? One day I looked over my right shoulder and I felt - bubble wrap, best way to describe it. Left side of my body curled up like a stroke victim with pain that can't be described.
In the end I have minor kidney damage (from all the drugs and way too much of them) and preeminent nerve damage at my C5-6 root so I'm affected from my neck down my left arm.
Life changed for me in a second, and all it took was turning to look over my right shoulder.
