mouth 0 #1 May 14, 2004 I tried to pull up the original thread but I guess it is gone, therefore I'll give you a quick overview before I get to the point. Eric Denney from Perris was doing a downplane last July. They broke extremely low with Eric going downwind right into another jumper. Eric did a radical turn which basically flew him into the ground. He was badly injured and is a miracle to have survived at all. After almost 5 months in various hospitals he was sent home to recouperate. Right before this they fused his right foot and ankle as the damage was so extensive. He has waited at home for almost 5 months for this foot to heal but it hasn't. Anytime it is below his heart it bleeds profusely which is hampering his ability to get back on his feet. There is also extensive nerve damage in this foot. On top of it all he has developed a MRSA virus which they fear may be in the bone and hardware that was installed in his foot. The antibiotics have had severe reactions for him and he can't take them all. On to my point. Eric has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now due to this foot not healing and the infection. He sounded rather frustrated which is understandable. He could use some of those good vibes everyone sent him almost 10 months ago again. Also if you get a chance to pop in IM he posts as EDenney01. Just say HI and that you are thinking of him and hopefully that will brighten his day. Thanks gang. Get better soon Eric.

edenney 0 #10 May 18, 2004 Thanks for the support everyone, especially Lisa who was there for me since the beginning. At this point all of my surgical/flesh wounds have healed except the one on my foot. That is the wound that has impeded my PT and rehab. They fused my ankle and inserted a rod into my leg (both legs actually) in November and the wound they created continues to bleed and throb anytime my foot is lowered. Not only is it not healing but it's infected with MRSA which is a very serious staff infection that is highly resistant to antibiotics. There is one antibiotic that can be used to treat it and they say it's going to take at least a month of IV treatments to eliminate the MRSA, IF they can eliminate it. There is a fear that the infection is in the hardware they inserted and that would be a worst case scenario that I wouldn't want to talk about. In the meantime I was transferred to acute rehab yesterday. I'll be getting serious PT and OT at least 3 hours a day for the next month or more. My hope is to be walking by the time I leave here but that's going to be a tall order as badly as my right leg and foot were damaged. The pain is going to be excruciating but I'm just going to have to fight through it. Anyway, just wanted to leave a quick update. My new room number is 3313 in case anyone wants to contact me or send anything. I have my phone line connected to my laptop 24/7 so if you want to reach me you'll need to IM me on AOL (EDenney01), email me, or call my cell phone. I don't want to post it here but you can get it from Lisa or IM me if you'd like it. Hope everyone's enjoying the nicer weather and getting in lots of jumps! blue skies and be safe...

edenney 0 #17 May 23, 2004 I managed to get a chance to get dressed and go out on the balcony this afternoon. While I was out there my mom snapped a picture of me and I thought I would go ahead and post it here. Although I look pretty good in this picture, looks can definitely be deceiving. I have all kinds of problems with my right leg and especially my right foot. My left foot is also incredibly painful when I try to put weight on it even though it wasn't hurt in the accident. Laying in bed for 10 months really creates all sorts of complications. Blue Skies... Eric Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cloud_monkey 0 #18 May 23, 2004 He's got my sympathy - I've been sitting at home for the past 4 months waiting for my shin to heal. Shattered tib/fib, four compartment syndrome, 3 surgeries and just a whole lot of misery. Luckily I only have about another month to go - or so I hope - So good luck to Eric from me- hope your recovery moves on a little quicker from this point on. Peace and blue skies, z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edenney 0 #21 May 26, 2004 QuoteI am sat at home waiting for my next surgery after having needed a load of metal work to hold my leg and ankle together I had the same thing done. Amongst all my other fractures and wounds, the bones in my lower right leg, ankle, and foot were virtually destroyed. They fused my right ankle and put a rod in my right leg that runs the full length of my tibia and connects to the hardware in the ankle fusion. The operation was unbelievably painful but the bone structure now is able to support weight. Unfortunately I have a lot of other complications in that region that are keeping me down. Good luck with the operation! E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and in that time - Here's something to think about. Oh what's that?... He (Edenney) wont even read it? Not Surprised. - A very deep and 'fitting' poem to what truely lies beneath all this caos... Selfish, Ungrateful, Melodramatic (by treerain) You take the time to recognize the monster in the closet only in the dark you feel its bearing presence. Where does it hide when you turn on the light? Only in the shadow where your tears can be safely shed Are also sounds of these demons that you’ve welcomed to your head. You know she’s hurting from your neglect, the one who chased them away, so you could feel safe when you slept but you never took the time to tell her you’re grateful that she’s there No, you just push her away and tell her she doesn’t care That she couldn’t possibly understand your brain let alone understand why you’re in so much pain. No, you just push her away And tell her she’s not listening doesn’t hear a word you say but you never stop to think that she’s felt this same way That you don’t care, don’t understand, that you’re never there to offer a hand But if there was a storm she’d offer you cover And you’d run for her warmth though, to you, she’ll always be ...oblivious ...
