Thank you. Sadly, had the same break on my right leg in the 1990’s then again right fibula about 4 years ago.

Yeah, the pain is like a 15 on the 1-10 scale. Probably the most painful break I’ve ever had (both time it happened).

 

[JLinza]

Dang man. Hope you heal up quickly

 

[smokerjim]

Double ouch, hopefully all heals well

Not how you want to go down a mountain. Glad they took good care of you. Hope the rest goes well also.

One of the old sayings when I was still skydiving "You can't scare the crowd unless you're scaring yourself!"

Man I hope you heal fast and are ready to hit the slopes again next season!

Verry sorry to hear this. What hill was it on, if I may ask?

I've upped my ski time considerably since moving to north Idaho last year--5 hills within 90 minutes--but since I now qualify for senior ticket pricing, I'm becoming a bit more aware how quickly things can go badly.

Copper Mountain. Things can go wrong real fast. 4 years ago a guy fell on me getting off the lift and broke my fibula.

Oh no! Good luck on a speedy recovery.
I tore up my knee at A-Basin 20 years ago and got to take a ride behind the Ski Patrol sled. Sadly I did not even have my skis on, I was getting ready to lock in when a guy came in out of control and used me as a method to stop....

My father gave me a choice when I was around 11. He said you could either play hockey or ski. I'm glad I chose hockey. Heal fast Dave, and you may want to think about changing hobbies.

Dang Dave! Thoughts and prayers to you for a speedy recovery bud! Please keep us updated!

 

[DRKsmoking]

If I had been broken twice before , I would be the guy everyone is laughing at all wrapped up in bubble wrap or this. Ha Ha

Anyway Dave, my god like Chris gmc2003 said . Maybe time for an indoor hobby.

I hope you heal quick and no complications from this later.

SU, Sorry to hear of you accident, I hope you heal quickly and don't give up snowboarding if that's what you like to do. Might have to stay on the "bunny slope" though !

 

[sandyut]

Too hard to work the quotes in but I greatly appreciate the support. I do love snowboarding and mountain biking. The emotions right now are too raw…and it’s gonna be a long time before I do either again, plenty of time to reflect. Just wish the surgery was in the rear view.
