Ouch
I am a total doofus. Please allow me to explain. I left you last week whilst driving north toward the mountains to snowboard for the first time in my life. Well, well, well, wouldn't you know it, I chickened out of boarding, fearing I would hurt my precious self, and opted for skiing instead. Now mind you, I've skied all of my life. I raced downhill in high school, gosh darn it! Just my luck, seems like I had a little --mishap. While hurtling down the mountain at around 30 mph, my left ski hit a piece of ice, my skis then split apart (oww) and I fell face first through my legs (ouch, again), onto my chest (yow) and flew down the rest of the run on my belly; arms and legs flailing behind me. In the middle of my fiasco down the hill, I felt the sharpest pain in my left thigh that I have ever felt in my life. Seems my right ski decided to attack my left leg for no apparent reason. I came to a spinning stop at the bottom of the run all piled up on top of myself in a heap. I was then carted off of the mountain by Joe, a really sweet, emergency toboggan skiing driver. Not kidding, that's his position, he's an Emergency Toboggan Skiing Driver. Hub-man, Mr. Cautious Skier (who will never let me forget this episode), drove me to the emergency room where a five hour wait, pain killers and many an x-ray later, I was told it was ONLY a bone contusion. ONLY? Owwww!!!
They stuck me in a massively large brace and onto a pair of crutches and told me to rest my left baby for a couple of weeks. I, of course, being me used the crutches and brace for a total of 21 hours (especially in grocery stores and gas stations cause I really liked the way people were being so nice and accommodating to me) and then I promptly decided I was fine, could take the pain and tossed both the brace and crutches in a closet at home.
Then today I ran into two wonderful upper level "S" students in the studio who happen to be nurses. They both lovingly but firmly instructed me to get the damned crutches and brace back out of the closet and finish my sentence or I would be out of commission for twice the amount of time. Seems my bruised muscle and bone needs rest. Who knew. So, if you see me hobbling around the studios this week, throw an extra hip circle in class for me cause you know I'll be aching for one!!!
