Knee Update

I went to my Orthopedic doctor today to check on my knee. I thought he would just drain it like the last time. Instead, he told me that it looks like a MCL sprain or tear and maybe some rubbing on the meniscus. I go in for an MRI on Saturday and then another appointment next Tuesday to figure it all out.

MCLs do heal on their own most of the time. So if it's not serious, I won't need surgery. And I could be back up in a couple of weeks. The doctor pretty much said this but I was also reaffirmed by some of my coworkers tonight.

We shall see. I'm hoping for very short time...there's so much snow falling!

Mom is going to kill me...

Ripped my knee out of place again. Tripped over a log buried in the deep pow and was sent flying as my knee was pulled the wrong way. No phone service, yelled for help, sled on my board over to the main run, found someone there, and was pulled down the mountain by ski patrol after over an hour of sitting in the 7 degree temps. My knee will be ok in a week or so...probably will get it drained on Monday. And be riding after Christmas again.

Aside from that...awesome day in the freshies on Thursday! Got some first tracks on Great Western's first operating day. Deep and steep turns....mmmmmmm.

MUST BE BETTER FOR MILLY'S OPENING!

Living the Dream

Need I say more?

Well, maybe a pow slash pic would better describe my life.
I'll get that done.

Snow snow snow!

Craig and I went snowboarding today! The canyon was closed to 4x4 and chains only. Instead of hitchhiking, Craig decided to just buy chains. We made it up safely and were riding by noon-ish. Best pow turns of the year!!! So delicious.

Phone update:
Found my phone the next morning a half block away, laying with the leaves over the storm drain. After a wet, cold night it obviously was not working. The sim card was ok (thank you t-mobile) and since my contract ended a month ago, I went in for an upgrade and renewal. So my new phone only cost me $15 after my rebate.

No phone...

I don't have a phone currently. I lost it in a gutter of rushing water. I stepped out of a car and heard a kerplunk. It was long gone in the madness. Awesome. 5 phones this year now.

Finals

For how tough and exhausting this semester's classes have been...finals are super easy. I haven't stressed over it once. I'm 2 down as of today. And the next will finish tomorrow, then a super easy math final on Monday. So close to freedom! Love it!

Snow has finally come as well! Can't wait to be riding everyday before work!!! Ah the life!

Snow Dance

It's December 1st and it feels like fall still. I didn't even have to wear a real jacket today. Time to break out my snow dancing skills.
