On September 10th 2001 I broke my back in a boating accident. Fortunately I didn't damage my spinal cord or drown. However, the pain was the worst I had ever felt. It hurt to stand, sit or lie down. I didn't sleep much that night and was pretty out of it come the morning of the 11th. I discovered that sitting in my computer chair and supporting my upper body with my elbows and the chair's arms brought some relief. I had a TV tuner card in my PC and decided to put on the news. The pain meds were heavy duty synthetic opioid type and had me nodding off into unconsciousness throughout the day. At one point after the first building was hit, I passed out. When I came to I had to ask my wife if I was dreaming or hallucinating what had happened. Sadly she told me I was not hallucinating. :(
