Vesper 07.04.11	With 2 and 3, 5 will be much easier. Good to see that you're being so positive about it all - you sound like a seriously awesome person. (Personally, I would take this chance to become the first cyborg, but whatever you want.)

bungy 07.04.11	I know how you feel. Last week I was rollerblading (so fast), fell and scraped my knee. My mom was like you better wear knee pads I was like I'm 20 now anyways I'll just fall on the grass but I barely missed you could see the scar for weeks For realzies though that sucks, good luck and everything dude

InFiction 07.04.11	Holy shit dude, that's awful. I hope you can fight through it quickly. You seem quite brave about it too. I will forever know you as the dude with testicles the size of Pluto. Best wishes.

Relinquished 07.04.11	best wishes, man I dislocated my legs before, but I can't imagine my future with them staying that way
ShadowRemains 07.04.11	damn dude, hope you can recover at some point, that's horrible.
Trebor. 07.04.11	He hasn't commented on this thread yet I'm worried
Deviant. 07.04.11	Well sleep can be a dangerous place Best luck on the recovery man
Parallels 07.04.11	lol best list ever. Hope you get better man
Hawks 07.04.11	Nice to see you're being positive about this whole situation man. Hopefully you have a speedy recovery.
Captain North 07.04.11	Hadn't commented yet because I sleep a lot, have visitors...got hoisted (literally) into a wheelchair for a half an hour of sunshine which was amazing after a week without it. Thanks everyone for the well wishes, means a lot to me. Logging on and seeing 54 positive comments from relative strangers its pretty uplifting. And yes, there was some nerve damage but its up in the air whether I'll walk again or not. Gonna try my hardest to be able to, but if I can't a wheelchair won't hamper me much.
taxidermist 07.04.11	Damn, that sucks bro. Glad you're positive about the whole situation. Get well quick and hopefully you can walk again in the future.
telebyrd 07.04.11	Best Wishes. You're a beast
TomArnoldsArmpit 07.04.11	Your positive outlook on this is refreshing. Good man.
tombits 07.04.11	this is literally a worst nightmare, best of luck man and stay positive. remember there are lot of paraplegics and quadriplegics out there who have done amazing things if it comes to that.
AtavanHalen 07.04.11	We ALL love you, Tom. Nothing will change that.
Adockalypse 07.04.11	Get well soon!
Wolfhorde 07.04.11	That shit sucks. But with that outlook you'll most likely recover properly.
Blind 07.04.11	glad to hear you're sort of alright [2]
Oathbreaker 07.04.11	Best wishes to you. I'm really happy to see this kind of attitude, I know I would be depressed.
Winesburgohio 07.04.11	'I WILL live a full and accomplished life despite this though.' With an attitude like that you fucking will. Best wishes and stay positive man
crazyblinddude 07.04.11	Oh man that sucks to hear. Hope all is well now and you make the best that you can possibly do. I'll definitely be hoping you get better and the positive attitude is the best thing you can do imo.
MoosechriS 07.04.11	shit man thats terrible, glad your family anf girlfriend are there for you and that your staying positive. Hope your recovery goes as well and as quickly as possible
benkim 07.04.11	Sorry mate. Get better.
Oceanus 07.04.11	That sucks so much man. :(
Captain North 07.04.11	Thankyou everyone, your support means a lot. I should also mention the amazing support I've gotten from my friends, which facebook has really helped with. I probably wouldn't be here without a couple of them, who were there are the time of the incident and kept me conscious after my fall when I was obviously beggining to slip away.
ethos 12.16.13	amazing attitude, something kinda similar recently happened to one of my real close friends. changed my perspective on a lot of stuff. i can't even begin to imagine, hope you're feeling better by now and if not you get better soon!
SCREAM! 12.16.13	Now Im a paraplegic and I know whyyyy Because I got high, because I got high because I got higgh
MosesMalone 12.16.13	Sooo how did this turn out?
LocustGrove 12.16.13	Sounds amazing actually. Get to lay around, take narcotics, and have your girlfriend wait on you hand and foot. Sign me up.
Captain North 12.16.13	Well seeing as this was written within the first few weeks of my injury, half of these points no longer apply (girlfriend is gone, as is the go getter attitude). But I'm getting by, learning how to walk again and currently on a two and a half month trip around Europe so obviously being in a chair isn't holding me back too much.
ethos 12.16.13	nice nice nice, great to hear keep it up
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 12.16.13	I know this was a while ago but hope things are working out for you man
Trebor. 12.16.13	dude fuck off
Minus. 12.16.13	Locust you're such a jackass lol
ResidentNihilist 12.16.13	locust = vermicide 2.0
Captain North 12.16.13	I'm not, and I do work. Strangers tip toe around me and I fucking hate it, my mates know better. I don't like the fucking attention and I make a point to never need to rely on people helping me, I've learnt to drive, I'm fit and strong. Do you even know 21 year old girls? The only ones who might fuck me are the ones I want nothing to do with. But yeah, I do get good parking spaces so you can suck on that
Captain North 12.16.13	Whoops, fed the troll. Didn't read the signs
Trebor. 12.16.13	I couldn't walk for 2 months and it sucked fucking dick and PT sucked fucking dick and all they played was Bob Marley and it sucked fucking dick and I didn't even get a handicapped thing cuz it was temporary damn
ResidentNihilist 12.16.13	Trouble with Sputnik is that it's hard to tell if the person's trolling or is a complete fucktard (with exceptions of course).
henryChinaski 12.16.13	Damn, best of luck to you man!
Captain North 12.16.13	What happened to you trebs? And just realised I had lied in the original post for this, I didn't fall I jumped.
Mort. 12.16.13	you jumped? in the suicidal way or just drunken accident? either way man best of luck to you
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 12.16.13	"I don't like the fucking attention and I make a point to never need to rely on people helping me, I've learnt to drive, I'm fit and strong." My dad's been in a chair for six years now, and the thing he hates most about it is the attention from others. Like people have good intentions and think they're helping but it ends up being extremely patronising
jtswope 12.16.13	best wishes man
Trebor. 12.16.13	I got hit by a car, it was only 5 months before your injury Broke my knee pretty bad and my foot. My foot is fine but my knee is still not great
Captain North 12.16.13	Mortimus - drunken suicide. So a combination I guess. Visions - yeah, pretty much. Most people wont try and push it though, so it's mostly tolerable. It's the ones who keep trying to help, or try to give me encouragement for doing day to day things that are really patronising. (Although there's also the flip side, the people who just walk past if I fall out of my chair, or will pack into an elevator and just look at me even though there are escalators nearby). Trebor - ouch, yeah fuck that. And then after all the PT those joints are still going to break down way faster than they should when you get older.
bach 12.16.13	Shit, man. I just learned of this. Sorry to hear. Hope you're getting along fine
Necrotica 12.16.13	Damn, this whole thing sounds awful. I know I'm two years late, but sorry man, that sucks :/
StallionMang 12.16.13	Holy fuck dude, never realized. I sincerely hope you're doing OK now though.
benkim 12.16.13	Hope you are doing better mate.
Chrisjon89 12.17.13	i remember this list. all the best dude.
someguest 12.17.13	"and all they played was Bob Marley" You make this sound like a bad thing. Continued good luck to you, Captain North.
MeatSalad 12.17.13	damn
conesmoke 12.17.13	that sucks man, best of luck with recovery.
alachlahol 12.17.13	keep workin on that recovery
alachlahol 12.17.13	ugh this is too heavy lists like this are the last thing i wanna see comin to this site
Trebor. 12.17.13	you know shit is real when alachlahol is sincere We love you Captain North, keep it up
Rowan5215 12.17.13	Oh fuck you then
benkim 12.17.13	Idiots like that one that think being an asshole somehow makes them edgy are the saddest and most pathetic people out there.
Rowan5215 12.17.13	Some things even Sput users know we should be sincere about as Trebor pointed out earlier, but there's always that one fuckwit
Dunpeal 12.17.13	fuck the haterz [10]
Terrifyer 12.17.13	good
skeames1214 12.17.13	How has Europe been? I'm going to attempt to get into a program that would allow me to do a semester abroad in spain.
StallionMang 12.17.13	Stevencore nominated for douchiest comment of the year
Captain North 12.17.13	Ah you guys missed out on the locust comment before it got deleted. Much douchier. And thanks guys. Skeames - Europe is amazing, loving every moment of it. Haven't gotten to Spain get but I'll be there for Christmas and New Years which will be rad
Rowan5215 12.17.13	You could put Terrifyer in there too ^
Rowan5215 12.17.13	Oh yeah but Locust is like one of the worst users anyway we all know it. Just ignore them man, and stay strong.
Dunpeal 12.17.13	terrifyer = osdm they're some pussy's alts
osdm 12.17.13	reported
StallionMang 12.17.13	What'd Locust say?
TheCollectiveFacade 12.17.13	The greater the challenge, the greater the reward.. that is the journey, that is our lives. That being said, you have a great journey ahead of you if you continue to keep your head above the water and not below it. The glass is half full. Love you brother, my wishes and the universes will always be with you whether you feel it at times or not, it'll be there.
LocustGrove 12.17.13	I like Stevencore. I like him a lot
TheCollectiveFacade 12.17.13	Bathing in the comfort of anothers pain will not serve to relieve your own.
Shuyin 12.17.13	man that sucks, best wishes to you
JustinKing 12.17.13	I know I'm very late for this, and from what I've read you seem to be at least on the path to recovery, but I hope you make a good one. Keep your head high and always remember that anything you face can be overcome with perseverance. Good on you for not being an attention-seeker and remaining independent. It shows strong will in a person. Cheers, Cap'n!
LocustGrove 12.17.13	BTW I'm not happy my comment got deleted. I didnt say anything wrong, just gave my opinion and tried to give the poor kid something to feel positive about. All of you haterz can suck it.
Underflow 12.17.13	Best of luck to you, Captain.
skeames1214 12.18.13	@Captain you'll have to keep me updated. I bet spain will be a super fun country to spend the holidays in. I've heard the people are incredibly nice.
