Skiing is dangerous!

Traumatised after a weekend in st Anton. Was going there mainly going there to discover the Austrian part of the Alps and to try on their world famous after ski! 

... Nope, I ended up at the hospital instead! 

It was an eventful weekend though. It started already at the Friday with a train ride to st Anton with some of the girls. Before I left work my manager said "Frida, we have a negative trend in the organisation. Don't fall!" On the way We shared a bottle of wine and was in a good mood! We found the place where we were supposed to live and settled in. The day after we were up in the slopes fairly early. It was a great first ride!! I had just, the weekend before, rented skis for the season and they were great!! Turned easily, the slopes were lively etc! We were above the clouds! 

It was quite crowded in the slopes. And unfortunately me and another guy were crashing right into each other... 

I was of course thinking that I only needed to rest for a while. Had a pain in my arm but thought it would pass. 

Nope.... The medical guys came. Tied me to the orange banana sled and took me down the slopes. What an experience! What centre of attention I became, what views I saw... Wanted to take pictures but was tied up... 

The guys took me down to the village and dropped me off at the doctors clinic... In the blink of an eye i had made a series of x-rays. They couldn't see anything. A thought crossed my mind "I could be back in the slopes by lunchtime!!!" -no. The doctor sent me off to another clinic to do a MRI... I was still having hopes about the afternoon, but with the MRI result those hopes were effectivly killed. 

Doctor; "Your upper arm is broken. Do you want us to perform surgery? We could fix this with two titanium screws" 

me; "......eh?..." 

Doctor; "you could of course wait. We could fix your arm for three weeks instead. But the surgery takes only 15 min. We could do it now" 

Me; "...huh...?"

3 hours later it looked like this:

I was undressed, put to sleep and fixed in less than an hour. I also got local anesthesia which made my arm completely numb for 12 hours... It just hanged there! OMG I never realised how hard it could be to get dressed, wash your hair or do anything with only one arm. It was even harder when you at the same time had to babysit the arm that was non functioning! Ha! I was just constantly dropping my left arm. Scary! 

The adventure has continued.... And it's a bit tough to manage everything. But at least it's the left arm that's injured. And thanks to all my fun pills I'm not in pain! Amazing!!
