Behind the Scenes

What I didn't report on in my ski post, was the crash I had at the end of the day.
(Isn't it always the end of the day?)

While most of the runs were slushy, the back canyon was icy,
and I unintentionally bombed a steep downhill and crashed at the bottom.
I knocked the air out of me but was grateful nothing was broken, or so I thought.
Still in pain two days later I visited Instacare and discovered I had two broken ribs (in my back),
a pleural effusion, an injured tailbone along with a very bruised behind.

Its taken me a minute to recover--that first week was ROUGH.
But ten days in I was well enough to go on a short girls trip and was glad for the distraction
 and all the gut-busting late-night laughs, even though laughing was sooo painful.

The best kind of pain.
