I’m not sure if this is the right forum, but I’ll start here.

I’m going it for a 2-level cervical fusion operation on Monday. I’m going to be stuck at home for a while recovering after that.

I am hoping that one of my fellow Dopers could help me with finding an image for an Avatar on my LiveJournal account. My Google-fu is weak today.

I want a pic of Batman in a neck brace, like in “Kingdom Come” or with a broken back from “KnightFall” (although I do not recall any good images – it has been several years since I read that comic.)

Any other suggestions of a superhero in traction would be appreciated.

Thank you.

[This](http://bendingsteelreview.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/bane-breaks-batman-497pg21.png?w=199&h=300) is the iconic image from Knightfall, although it’s an action shot, not a traction shot.

As far as Supes not looking his best: [how about this?](http://www.newmobility.com/mag_images/02/november/NM1102Reeve1.jpg) 😉

Good luck with the surgery.
