Jamie's terrible no good very bad day

so.... tonight in soccer, i was playing goalie, and while a guy was on a breakaway i dove onto the ball to save it, and i guess the guy was going full speed and i got a knee to the spine. instant pain shot down my right side... so i subbed out and was in the worst shooting pain of my life from my right lower back into my right butt cheek. every time i moved it killed. so after the game jer took me to the hospital and i got an x-ray, and it was too swolen, so they gave me a CT scan and it turns out i have a "spinal fracture (right L2 transverse process fracture)... which means the little offshoots of one of my vertibrae got fractured. not super serious, just a ton of pain and no heavy lifting or twisting for a little. i should be fully healed in 6 weeks. they told me to talk to a neurologist, so i said i knew gauffin and reichman, 2 of the 3 main neurosurgeons in the valley, and they said that that was great and i should talk to them to see if i need a brace or anything. so...... jer helped a ton, he was with me from like 11pm-3am, then he took me to the pharmacy to took me to pick up some loritab.

i am really debating crawling to my 2 labs tomorrow where i have things due... im kind of freaking out about school now.
i seriously have not felt pain like this ever and i dont know how i am going to function for the next little bit...
