I still have nerve damage from the injury and am about 80% in my left leg and 90% in my right. Both of my hips weren't attached to my body (they hadn't moved out of place though so I didn't have to have surgery), my tail bone was broke down the middle, I broke two ribs on either side, broke my left shoulder, punctured lungs, and had severe nerve damage. My sciatic nerve was severed.

That horse has took me to both hell and heaven on Earth though. I still love him. I was back on him three months after my injury, but it took about six months before I could ride without any pain, and about a year to where I could post without stirrups again.
Crickey, being trampled in a paddock was bad, but nothing like this. Pretty horse by the way.
