They said to my parents that the neck break was a stable fracture, but the back was completely crushed: the vertebra at L1 was like you'd dropped a peanut, stepped on it, smashed it into thousands of pieces.
Dissero ai miei genitori che la frattura al collo era una frattura decisa, ma la schiena era completamente spappolata. La vertebra L1 era come una nocciolina, lasciata cadere, calpestata e distrutta in migliaia di pezzettini.
