Bummed out my best ski buddy will probably not ski again

Warp Daddy · Jun 25, 2008, 3:07 PM

Talked to my son a medical professional in Manhattan last nite > He may NEVER ski again . A 3 sport ALL East athlete in college and Marathoner was unable to ski more than 3 times this past year due to a severe Morton's Neuroma issue and apparantly all conservative treatments have failed .

It s NOT getting better even after cortisone and since he has had some nerve related surgery that was less than sucessful in the past he is RELUCTANT to try surgery for this issue given only an 80 % sucess rate with possiblity of real side issues He had what was deemed successful nerve related surgery on his salivary gland that frankly is now worse than before surgery .

He told me last he had to quit running after ONLY 3 miles from serious pain . This is a guy who has run for over 25 years was ALL State XC and track athlete in HS and ALL East in University . He is a sub 3 hr Marathoner in NYC marathons several times and in the 1% body fat catergory and now his son is following in his footsteps asa multi-sport athlete at 14 and is a VERY good skier like his dad

I'm bummed about it -- this was one of life's special joys to ski with your adult kids and grandkids . guess i''l lbe taking his kids skiing myself when they are here they and there cousins .
