Injury meter: 5

Okay, had my bad snowboarding accident - gene had to go to A&E once, so I guess it was my turn.
It wasn't that dramatic a fall but I think I twisted something or snapped something or did something crazy to my hip. No, they don't see any fractures on the x-ray, which is good news.

But had to be tobogganed down the hill by the Ski Patrol which would have been embarassing and/or fun if I actually remembered any of it. All I remember was this awful pain haze.

Couldn't put weight on the leg on Saturday (when I fell) and yesterday.

Today, am beginning to be able to put a wee bit of weight on it again, though stairs are a challenge. Baths are painful and I have to sit down to try any kind of dressing manoeuvres.

On the upside, the painkillers are lovely. On the downside, am tripping all over these crutches.

Going to see another doc for follow up tomorrow. Hopefully, it will all be good news and I will be up and right as rain in a few days.

It is *finally* snowing and I really really don't want to miss that.

Wish me luck.

Oh no!!!!! Really hope you're okay... have not had my fill of snow angels yet! Get well quick!

Heyy, Nat and Gene,
Happy new year. Sorry to hear about the tumble. Get well soon, and may the knees be as good as nooo.
