Blogs
Suzie: Lady, Swimming pool accident, C5
Very candid and detailed about the whole experience. Rocking it.
Kate: Lady, Motorbike accident, C2
Very honest and articulate. Doesn't sugarcoat the experience at all. Also a little bit about the aftermath, which is pretty hard to find.
the girl at the traffic light junction: Lady, Trampoline accident, C1 & C2
Actually looks glamorous in the halo. Trampoline accident is pretty much on-par with waterslide accident in terms of "How in the world did you screw that up?".
Aden: Guy, Cycling accident, C1 & C2
His list of Top 10 questions received mirrors my list almost exactly.
Bourney's Blog: Guye, Swimming Pool accident, C7 & T1, with paralysis. Based in Perth, Australia.
Written by the wife of a man who had an accident in Bali. I love the photos down the right side showing Simon out and about in Perth.
Nadine (Spinejuice): Lady. Home interior decorating accident. C5 & ligaments.
Very detailed about her experiences, and quite humorous.
Olivia Moon: Lady, Car accident, C2 & T6. Ended up having surgery. Based in Australia.
Halo brace is a part of her regular blog. Some good photography.
Charlie: Lady, Horse riding accident, C2 & C7.
Sue: Lady, Car accident.
Single page stories
Katie Pie: Lady, Motorbike accident, C2.
Less day to day, but some good info compiled in one place.
Clarisse. Acknowledges the existence of sex in a halo, and uh takes it to the next level. You go, girl.
Sakura: Shows her (lack of) scar.
H2G2: A couple of entries about halo braces. Some useful information about day to day activities.
Facebook Groups
A word of warning about the Facebook groups. After joining/posting, I had plenty of people getting in touch. Most of them were very generous souls who'd had a halo, who wanted to share the wealth of their experience. They are good people. But I did have one person who contacted me under false pretenses, claiming that he had been in an accident, and wanted to talk in detail about the experience, and for me to share pictures... turns out I was right to be suss; he had pulled that stunt before! So it pains me to say so (and you are on the internet so I'm sure that you are aware of this already), but be wary.
Survivors of Broken Necks
I know I don't have a broken neck, but these people wear halos, so they're my people
I hate HALO'S!!!!
Don't we all. Currently not very active. But if you need to commiserate, here's the place.
