I am trying to see the positive in this and take the opportunity to do things that I don't normally get to do when I am always headed out on a new climbing, or skiing adventure. I would love to read more, learn to play an instrument, hang out with friends I don't normally get to hang out with. I guess its just hard though as I still have a general lack of mobility and the dull pain I have throughout the day. The root may be that I am just at a loss for the stoke I had before the accident.
This is as relaxed as I can get sitting with the brace...Its hard to be stoked when I don't know how long I have to wear my brace, when I am going to be able to lift things, start PT, or get my rods and screws out. Being such an active person, I feel like a caged animal, and tend to pace around the house ( I mean I should be stoked that I can let a lone pace). Once over this initial couple of weeks I think I will be able to come around and see more of the positives, but its just really hard right now when I sit and stare at my computer watching ski vids of guys ripping huge alpine lines, or sending big rock routes things that I would have filled my spring and summer with.
Ok, on another note I was able now with my free time compile a little video from my ski season. I do have to admit I had probably the best winter ski season of my life with the exception on how it ended. I was able to get nearly 30 days of skiing in from Opening day at Mt. Baker, to a sweet mid week bluebird pow day, to many days of first chair freshies on 7th heaven. On second thought I should not be as bummed as I am, I had a great ski season and next year I will be back shredding even more days than this year!
