First Post!!!!

Alright, first post! I made this blog a couple days ago and was going to use it for a skiing journal but I just haven't had time to post on it. But since a few things happened it is going to have a little bit of a different purpose for a while. Still, lets start out with a little skiing...
This year has had a rough start. I haven't been skiing the greatest. So far I have been working on moving my turn up the hill and pressuring in the fall line. Tough stuff! Also I found out that my boots a re a little big and we have been working on the canting of my boots for a while. Though I have still had those good days and awesome runs.

As for recently, yesterday I hurt my self. What did I do? Well, I screwed up my knee. Right now it is fairly swollen and I can't straighten it or bend it and can't put any pressure on it. I went to the doctor and have some tests done, x-rays, and an MRI. What that all concluded to was that I has significant bone contusions, a strained/partially torn mcl, and a torn acl. My season is over :(

As for fixing it, it is a pretty lengthy process. I have to do therapy for two weeks to get my range of motion back before I get the reconstruction surgery. After I get the surgery I will have a long time of recovery therapy. After 3 months of therapy I will be able to run again. (though I would say not such a good idea because of the high impact so maybe biking or swimming) then after 6 months of therapy after the surgery I will be fully recovered. That doesn't necessarily mean I can do everything I used to. Then after all is said and done I will be in a knee brace for at least a year.
I am going to use this blog as a kinda of progress tracker, I mean why not right? I am going to (attempt to) keep posting on here so I can keep looking forward and not forget my skiing goals. And if you are reading this, thank you! I know it's probably not the most exciting thing in the world . :)
