Ryan Cox Broke His Back
February 17, 2004
|
On February 17, 2004, Ryan Cox of Georgia
broke his back during a bad fall
at an ice speed skating practice in Southern California.
He was immediately rushed to Long Beach Memorial Hospital
where it was determined that he had broken 5 vertabrae
in his back.
The good news is that
there was no spinal cord damage and Ryan is not
expected to require any surgery.
It can often take 6 months to a year for this
type of injury to heal but Ryan
was out of his hospital bed and walking within 6 days of his
fall and he is expected to fully recover and be back
on skates again in record time.
