TIFU by climbing further along a branch and falling and almost breaking my back

This didn’t happen today (like every post on this sub), it happened a few weeks back, and I'm still recovering.

So at school I was climbing up a tree outside for some reason. The tree had an easy access point which made it easy to get up onto, which made it rather popular. I made it onto the highest branch I had ever climbed to, and someone else was further up, so feeling adventurous, I decided to walk further along the branch, huge mistake. I didn’t take into account that the further you go along the branch, the weaker it gets, and I ended up slipping and falling out of the tree. I feel feet first before my back took the rest.

HOLY SHIT my back hurt, I had never been in so much pain, it felt like my back had been mutilated and destroyed by something. I couldn’t get up, but thankfully I hadn’t hit my head so I didn’t have a concussion. The school called my dad who drove onto the field, and I slowly and painfully managed to get up with my dad and the teacher's help. At the emergency room, they detected no fractures, but my back muscles were most definitely bruised. I was discharged after a couple hours, and went home.

Since then, I have slowly been recovering, along with the help of painkillers. But for the first week following the fall, I could barely get up without my back killing me, I struggled to walk, couldn’t bend over, couldn’t play my Wii, and almost every movement hurt my back. I have improved a lot since, I am back at school, I can walk for extended periods of time, but I still can’t run, and my back is stiff.

TLDR: I fell out of a tree I was climbing at school, almost broke my back, and have had struggles with moving since

We were Robbed!

We were so close to getting a Lord Vortech figure and him as a playable character, but we didn’t. We could have gotten Minecraft and Despicable Me in Lego Dimensions, we could have gotten lots of cool things, who knows what was in year 3. But we didn’t, because TT Games robbed us of it. They could have just switched the game from toys to life to all digital, but no, they canceled their biggest game and instead we got pile of shit after pile of shit (well, except for Lego dc supervillains, it looks cool, even though I never played it). Lego Dimensions could have been so much more than what we have, but no. I'm happy we got what we got though, they could have canceled the game in early-2017 because that was when the signs began to appear, but they ended with a sort of banger with wave 9. But I'm still so disappointed, we were so close, we were so close to so much cool stuff.

In all honesty, I really want this game back, not toys to life obviously since that was the reason Lego Dimensions was cancelled. But there was so much stuff they were cooking up that we never got it makes me want to cry.
