Thank you to all who have left messages on here and facebook, texts, and those who have stopped by. I really appreciate it.

They transported me from Putnam County to Methodist in Indy when they saw the T-3 and T-4 vertabrae fractured. An MRI at Methodist also showed some ligament tears, but nothing that would be a danger to my spine. So the good news is no surgery seems to be required. They've got me in this brace up to my neck to limit movement, and expect me to be in it for at least 30 days. Bad news is they said I can't work, drive or lift anything for that period of time. Luckily I still have some vaca left I can take to make up for it, and a great boss who always works with me on scheduling.

Again, thanks to all and I'll try to pass along info as it heals.
