An unexpected pause
Two weeks ago… It had snowed quite a lot the day before, and the sky was perfect blue; it seemed a good time to take a half-day off and go snowboarding at Les 7 Laux, the closest ski resort where I live… Indeed, the first hours of the day were perfect ; A+ if I should rate the off-slope descents in the Vallons du Pra…
… Then a memory hole… Next thing I remember, I’m surrounded by safety people, my right arm and leg awfully hurt… I have been hit by a skier going down, at a crossing between two slopes…
Hospital… Wait… Surgery… Waking up…
In the end, it appears my right knee and elbow have multiple fractures. I will need about 2 months to start walking again, and 4 to 6 months to completely recover. Ouch.
I left the public hospital yesterday and entered a medical center for reeducation; I should stay there for the next 1 to 2 months. While I will have exercises twice or three times a day, the main challenge will be to find how to spend the remaining time… Thankfully, I have now my laptop with Wi-Fi access back; my main window to the world for the next weeks…
