Still a long ways off, I think it'll be like May or so.
Yep: May 18, 2007, WWE reported that Helms had broken two vertebrae in his neck, one of which was pressing on his spinal cord. He underwent surgery with Dr. Lloyd Youngblood to repair them approximately one week later. A few weeks later Helms was announced to be out for a year due to his neck injury.

They always say this surgery takes a year, but realistically, it ends up being more like two.
He should've gotten the less invasive procedure Angle had.

I'd rather him get the best surgery to prevent any troubles later on.

I remember hearing that Helms had some neural problems that caused one of his arms to go numb like every other day to the point that he couldn't even lift his arm up.
It sucks for him, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took a little longer for him to come back.

Because of the steriod suspension, he'll probably be back in June He would have already served the suspenion while out with injury. I remember hearing that Helms had some neural problems that caused one of his arms to go numb like every other day to the point that he couldn't even lift his arm up. It sucks for him, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took a little longer for him to come back. Yes, they can't even do any major physical therapy right now from the way it sounds. From one of his Myspace blogs: Friday, November 02, 2007 Injury Update! Hey everyone! First of all, I want to thank everyone for the over-whelming support that's been shown me since my injury. I know I'm way past due in letting my supporter's know how I'm doing, so without further ado (you have to say that with a foreigh accent of some sort) here we go. The neck seems to be doing good. But, and there's always a "but" isn't there, the difference in my neck injury and others in the sport of pro wrestling that have suffered a similar injury is the amount of actual nerve damage that I sustained. So while my neck seems to be okay, I have nerve damage in both arms that pretty much keeps me in pain on a daily basis. On a good day, it's tolerable, on a bad day I can't even hold a book. Which for someone who reads as much as I do, that is a significant pain in the ass as well as arms. On a bad day, video games are completely out of the question, which doesn't seem to bother me too much as Talia takes entirely too much enjoyment at beating my ass in whatever video games we play. Although, she has learned first hand why I've never ever lost a game of Trivia Pursuit! The physical therapy at this point mainly consists of walking and slight stretching movements to keep the old "bag of bones" from getting too stiff and out of shape. Nerve damage, it appears heals at about 1/10 the rate of muscle or bone, so it's just going to take time to fully recover, how much time is the question? So there ya go, once again, thanks for all the support, I look forward to coming back and kicking people in the head as soon as I can! I'll be posting another blog soon letting you know about what I've been up to lately. Trust me, it's been wild!

i don't want the hurricane back, that had run it's due IMO, but i think he needs some kind of gimmick to get him over. as good a wrestler as he is, helms was a bit bland before the injury.
