I skiied all Christms weekend after the ortho doc said I could ski "softly". Not much snow out there, so the skiing is easier than managing powder. But it's amazing to me that I can ski agressively and really fast with no pain at all; but sitting down and standing up hurts like I'm literally 100 years old. My knee that is most hurt from my fall did get a little sore after a few hours hours on the mountain--but so worth the extra damage in exchange for the perfect windless sunshine on the mountain with my kids. I felt free, and was literally filled with joy for the first time in months. |
