December 27 Alpental (vid)

While there is the main Padded Chair thread, every once in awhile I will try and add a little vid love and make it easy to find. Today is one of those days.

Highlight for me.........just being able to do it in the first place. After shredding my left leg, I didn't think this would be happening for another 2 weeks at least.

As for the skiing, it was kinda good........

In the eternal balance of ying & yang, your return to the slopes marked my departure. Lost my edge in the lower back bowls on the last lap yesterday and slid down a firm face into a tree. After a check-up by my partner we carefully rode out to the parking lot and since I wasn't woozy and there wasn't any horrific disfigurement I drove home just fine back down 90. As expected, the pain and stiffness set-in during the evening and now I'm basically unable to lift my left arm independently. Likely diagnosis: separated shoulder. Hoping it's minor and doesn't require surgery. Didn't plan to spend today on the exam table's padded seat

Heal well, Pipedream - ski season never ends .

I saw that late last night and was hoping we were going to see you today. Ouch. Healing vibes to you, they help.

Minor shoulder separation, that'll teach me to go places I shouldn't be. Should be back in action mid-January
