i'm a gimp.

My last day of skiing was last monday. I ended my season on a bad note.

Skiing at Beaver Creek, third run of the day, tweaked my knee, no binding release.

Attempted to ski down and there was no stability under my right knee. Being with two of the people who love me the most, mom and Jon, they were insistent that I take a sled on an adventure to the clinic.

After my clinic visit, 2 orthopedic appointments, and MRI, x-rays, an allergic reaction to the medicine and a lot of hobbling around, it has been determined that I DON'T need surgery!

Turns out I actually compacted my tibia near where the bone flares towards the outside of my leg. Dr. HorribleBedsideManner informed me that this is an absolutely bizarre injury seeing as that this "almost.never.happens." unless a ligament is torn first.

Here I am now, relieved that I don't need a surgery, or crutches for that matter in my house that has a bajillion stairs. Yes, a bajillion. Thankfully they gave me a knee brace to hold everything in tact in the meantime that will end up costing me as much as a surgery in the end.
