Oh my gosh! I hope there wasn't any serious damage??

Thank goodness, no serious damage (though you could have fooled me from the pain! ;) )

I made it the rest of the way down the slope without assist and got my rentals returned before going to ski patrol for an ice pack and a trained assessment.

It seems like I've stretched a ligament across my knee. This is the first time I've ever injured my knee. Boy does it hurt!! And wow, I would never have guessed how much simple daily action uses the muscles attatched to the knee.

I'm spending the day sitting on the couch (now that I foolishly got out of bed, that is), thinking about how far away the kitchen is.

At least I can still knit! :)

Hugs everyone!
Skiing was fun!! :)

I'm so sorry you're hurt! I guess I need to put something extra special in your giftie box! Get better soon!

Love,
Ewenice, your SP7

..mmmm.... an ice pack, maybe? ;)

Thank you for the empathy and the well-wishes!

I'm doing surprisingly well and am so very grateful that it wasn't more devastating.

Today I can extend my injured leg almost to straight if I support it's weight, and I can bend it to almost 90 degrees. :)
