Worst day snowboarding ever!
knave:
My wife and I escaped from the children to go ride.
Before the first run, after I got off of the lift I had to avoid some people standing in the way and my free foot caught some ice and twisted. I felt a large pop and seering pain.
Crappy. :(
I told my wife to do a run while I rested it to see if I'd be OK. It wasn't. But I managed to creep my way painfully to the bottom of the hill. My day was done before it began.
I went to ski patrol to get some ice and Advil then went home. It did not look like my ankle was broken at that time.
The story is not over! Worst part is still coming.
I told my wife that I'd be fine and to go back out. (no use wasting two lift tickets, although after some sweet talking I did get a credit for mine)
Two hours later I'm icing my foot and watching TV and my Wife literally hops in on one foot and says I need to take her to the ER. Her foot is in a temporary splint.
We get to urgent care and she definitely broke it, she gets drugs and a cast. Fun stuff. :dizzy:
Only good news is that later when I thought my foot was broken it turned out to be sprained. So no cast for me and I can walk and drive (right foot) not to mention take a shower.
All this the day before our Anniversary.

That sucks man.
You now have the opportunity to make her anniversary extra special with home comforts and pampering.
I've done a something very similar involving ATCs, and when it all goes wrong its not fun.
Well, have a happy anniversary anyway, maybe next year you could try snorkling in Cancun. ;)

I always tell people they should take lessons so they don't get hurt. ;)
ChadTower:
Lessons on what? Not standing at the chair offload spot where people can get hurt? That happens way more often than it should and it is never the idiots in the way that get hurt. It's the person jumping off the chair like knave.
