Thank You all so much for the words of encouragement,it really helps. Though I've pretty much been a lurker,I am allways inspired, enlightened and get my fix from the AZ. The fracture is displaced only 1mm and will not require surgical stabilization. There are no detectable tears in any ligaments at this time. The cartilage will most likely need an arthroscopic cleaning after the fracture heals.

good luck with the recovery. nice that there were no ligament tears.

Hernia is not an issue so I should be good to go for the rest of the season. I have this pinched nerve in my neck though. The most annoying part is it makes my scalp tingle when I turn my head to the right....

damn, you gonna be ok? maybe a nice glass of warm milk and a hug from mommy might help get you through......:lol:

Unfortunately I have to add myself to this thread, hopefully not for the rest of the season. Yesterday was day 2 at Bromley and I was on Havoc (steep and ungroomed) and caught an edge, spun around and ended up backwards. Result was a wipeout and I pulled my right calf muscle. It was the last run before lunch. So now I'm limping and my calf is very sore.

I probably won't get better by tomorrow for my last day here but what I'm reading on the internet it seems like it will be a couple of weeks before I'm healed. Hopefully I can get a couple of days in April at Belleayre to finish the season. I'll just have to live vicariously through my son who is in the "Mountain Club" today and my snowboarder wife who took a skiing lesson yesterday and is taking one today too.

Heal up, and it sounds like some hot tub therapy is in order :)

Oh man, get thee to a podiatrist. For like $50, you can have that sucker cut right off. Do it on a Monday, and you'll be skiing by Fri. or Sat.

I've had it done dozens of times. Damn youth soccer!

Living with it is annoyingly painful, esp. for a bump enthusiast. Really no need to put yourself through that, its such a simple procedure.

I hear ya man, I didn't mean to sound pushy. That's a total bummer though.

It should be a good time for spectators too though, which I'll be after the first round anyway. ;)

I had a tough winter. I pinched the ulnar nerve in my neck that runs down my left arm. That shut me down for 3 weeks in December. I then pulled a calf muscle on New Years weekend. When that healed, I exploded my left knee in the parking lot moving my cars for the plow guy. 5 ski days in January and 7 in February. I'll ski pretty much every sunny day in March and April to make up for it.

I know that trail well! Hopefully, you'll be healed up soon. How's it doing now?

On the plus side I'm not limping anymore but my calf muscle is stiff and feels sore if I push hard on it. My vacation ends tomorrow so I won't be tempted to push it. The last three days Mountain Creek had been open and today the other local hills finally re-opened. It was tough to resist going skiing the last three days but I didn't want to risk re-injuring it by skiing too early in the healing process.

I finish a trip early on Sunday morning so I may take my son for his last day of local skiing this season and I figure I'll be good for a few days at Belleayre in April, so at least I don't think the season is over for me yet. Thanks for asking.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Sounds like pacing yourself paid off. Keep us posted.
