Anyone else experienced this?
 
i went skiing up in the local socal mountains. it was a decent winter weekend. lots of natural snow falling.

i fell once and got some "snu" on my jacket. i think it left a stain.

is that stuff supposed to stain?

What is snu?


I also was skiing this weekend, had a race.

Crashed in a training run and tore my rotator cuff and fractured the ball joint.
Season possibly over, I couldn't be more depressed right now.

really sorry my horrible horrible joke got piled on top of that misfortune.

i feel like a real dickfor.

where were you racing?

Damn p-ski...Sorry to hear that and hope you heal up well. Skiing is not to be taken lightly. The time before last, I was hauled off the mountain by the ski patrol on a snowmobile.

Take care and ease back into things.

LOL. nah, no biggie, i thought it was funny. was at a USSA race at Sugar Mtn in NC. Easy drive from KY so we ski there a fair amount. Won three of the four runs in SL on Saturday and was 4th in the GS Sunday, which is decent for me. We were doing some training runs on Sunday after, and the course had gotten pretty rutted, must have hit a rut wrong because I got catapulted 3 gates from the finish and landed on my head and my shoulder. Minor concussion but thought I was ok until I had no motor function in my arm. Really frustrating because I've been skiing better than I ever have before. Getting old sucks.

Most involve falling down.

I'm not either, I'm a racer. I get nervous any time my skis leave the snow.

Ouch!
Hope everything is ok. I guess I'd be depressed too but thank goodness it wasn't worse.

Get well soon.

Well... went to the doctor yesterday... it's even worse than I had thought. Torn rotator cuff and fractured ball joint. Probably going to need surgery, I have no lateral ability in my left arm now. In a sh1tload of pain, but it has subsided significantly in the last 24 hours. The only good news is I can still ski this season if I can deal with the pain, since it's going to require surgery I can't really make it any worse.

oh no. hopefully they can give you something so you can at least sleep at night. pain pills during the day (for me at least) are a no go, they knock me out. but you gotta get your sleep.
if you do go back out skiing, be careful!

You need to go to Pure Platinum to deal with the pain!

Geesh, that's terrible. I'm so sorry.

If it were me (it isn't, but I did have to get a new bionic knee this past summer and go through pain and rehab ... ) from the surgeons point of view I'd vote for "surgery now" = less crap and scarring to try and clean out of the joint than when doing it later, and as you have some fractures will also likely decrease chance of permanent arthritic changes that will haunt you forever. I'm just saying ... ;)
