Recap of my life for the past 3.5 months- pain, agony, and no skiing (x6 agony).

I broke my right tibia and fibula (the two bones in the leg below the knee) last october while playing soccer. I was in a wheelchair for the first few weeks which was actually pretty fun, but then I was "upgraded," as doc put it, to crutches.. Crutches blow. and especially in ice and snow.. I fell multiple times while trying to get myself around. Then after about another month or so I got my cast off and got a brace but still couldn't put any pressure on it for a good 2 weeks. I just went to the doc last night, and he said that I'm 95% good to go. The legs still broken but it's healing well enough that i can do whatever i want again... THAT MEANS SKIING!! however I'll have a limp for roughly a year...

sparknotes: Broke my leg. Couldn't ski. 3-4 months later, doc says I CAN SKI now!
 
yo thats legit,

being injured blows,

nothing worse than looking out the window at tons of fresh and just imagining pow turns

dont push yourself too hard though, i got stitches one morning, was out later that day,

had a great time till i wrecked hard and ripped 3 of the 5 stitches out...
 
ah man i went through the same thing kind of.. broke my tibia and fibula when i wrecked a motocross bike in august a couple years ago.. out of everything for 4 months i feel for you man, go shred!!! best feeling ever after all that, just take it easy and +++vibes :)
 
Thats sweet to hear, my sister did the same thing 2 weeks ago, its awesome to hear you're back skiing though, have fun buddy.
 
dope. i know what that's like, two days before christmas of 07 i bent my knee backwards and ripped apart my calf, nobody was sure whether or not i'd even be able to walk properly again, but about four months later i was back on skis. it's a good feeling knowing that you overcame something like that. make the most of it.
