No News is Just As Bad


good after noon all

squid here

well here is the update, ive been of for a while i guess
not to long

but here is my situation,
i went skiing on feb 14th cuz it was a day off and i had no valintine to spend it with
i know boo hoo right

well skiing was great for the frist 6 or 8 runs, it was a beautiful day, noone was on the slopes, i was carving it up really nice on the blue trails. i could count the runs on the trails, and most where mine from the run before

the last run i was cooken, i was going a little fast and i hit a lip that put me off balence, and then i hit a second lip that took me out
i fell on my side and sated to spin, then all i saw was a rush of red and i was on my back stopped

when i gatherd my self, i realized that my left knee and hip where killing me
pain shot up my leg like i have never felt it, then i noticed i was in the woods

i sat up and looked down, my skis where not on me and not in sight then i looked to my left
the rush of red was a mesh fence that i took out
i took 20 feet of fence out and took down 5 or 6 polls that where holding it up out as well
my ski goggles and my hat where off
my back pack was half off

i was looken around sitten still when i hear

"you ok"
and i repplied "um........ my knee hurts"

some one noticed i was in the woods,
i was skien alone so there i was in the woods and luckly some one saw me,
he told me i was lucky and that he found one ski
down 20 feet from me
i found the other 20 feet above me stuck in the fence
with a pole

when i finally tried to get up other people started to pass and stop
one noticed the cuts on my fore head and asked if i was ok
then they called ski patrole

they told me to sit down after they noticed how bad i was limping to get my skis
thats when i figured i was getting a ride down on a sled
nothing felt broken or out of place

then i was looken over my gear,
i broke a ski and bent a pole
the skis rear tip seporated and i dont knwo how that happened
and i think i bent a pole on one of the posts i hit

sitting down the ski patole came over
and asked if i knocked my self out
and i said no
now that i look back i dont think i did but i really dont knwo
i could have

anyways
i got a ride down
on a sled
looked at my knee and by then it started to swell
then i drove my self to the er
the 4 hours there they took x-rays
and nothing was broken
but i could not put weight on it any more
so i got a brace for the knee
a get out of jail free pass... i mean get out of work free pass
and crutches
and now im home
with my brace on
my fore head is better
my knee is slowly comming back to normal shape
it looks like i have a black and blue base ball on the inside of it
it hurts to sleep with it
it hurts to move iwth it
it hurts all the time

monday i go to the docs to see if i tore anything
and to tell you the truth i am really worried about it
what if i did
what about work
they arnt happy im not able to work now
and what if i really did something bad to it and i cant go back to work?

also can i ride again
can i dive any more
can i rock climb again
can i go on extended hikes again
can i go skiing again
what if it is really fucked up?
sigh
well that is a good lesson iguess learned the hard way
sigh

well i will keep you up dated i guess
squid out
here are some pics i guess
