By this point, I'm starting to get stir crazy. I hate the fact that I'm not fully mobile yet. Worse, I'm worried about the fact that I may not get to snowboard at all this winter. Before the injury, I had plans to fly to California on December 16 to go snowboarding for a few days. I was a little nervous about booking such an early season trip, but I decided to gamble and do it anyway. And worse case, I could always gamble in the Tahoe casinos if the snow conditions weren't good.
That storm dumped about 9 feet of snow in the mountains. Yes, feet. Epic powder would be an understatement. I look at my leg, and I felt nauseous all over again.
The good news is that I stopped taking the pain medication. And the day before, I met a friend for dinner. My leg was slightly uncomfortable as its still in the cast, but I was excited to leave the house.
I've also started reading other blogs about people with this injury. Some report being fully mobile in as little as 12 weeks, so I'm feeling a lot more upbeat. I'm still following doctor's orders for now, but already I'm wondering how to accelerate my recovery time so that I can snowboard this winter.
