The foot.....

So, snowboarding is fun, right? Except when you end up on a stretcher behind a snowmobile.....

A January day at Snow Summit ended up as half a day in the First Aid station, then a trip to the ER and multiple trips to the orthopedist. We are still not sure how it actually happened, but Doug broke a bone on the side of his left foot. He was in a cast for two months...

then a walking boot, then walking shoe. He is finally back in regular shoes, but still not running or lifting any weight. He has avoided physical therapy, but it has taken a long time to heal. The next x-ray is on Thursday and we are hopeful he will be cleared to be more active. It has been excruciating for him to miss out on Ultimate for 6 months!

But Snow Summit gave him a free lift ticket for next year ....
