Pity party

If you spend a lifetime being active, eventually an injury will happen. I can't complain too much. I've spent a lifetime riding, rock climbing, and skiing. One finger injury and an arthritic toe. Not too bad really. My own genetics have held me back more than my injuries.

On Wednesday I added to the tally, this one is going to be a bit more problematic.

Ski crash in poor visibility. Torn meniscus, it's avulsed off the bone. Minor MCL tear and tibial plateau fracture but those will probably heal on their own.

Currently waiting to hear back from the surgeon. It's not a matter of surgery. It's a matter of what kind and recovery. The most likely scenario puts me back to work in 6-8 weeks. Probably will start riding stationary as soon as I'm cleared. Not sure I'll be hucking my bike over doubles and taking drops this year.

I've cancelled my order on a new FS bike I was beyond excited about. Sigh.

I'd began training to run a sub 5 minute mile this year, just because that seems like a thing most guys in their late 40's can't do. Pause.

Trip to Lego Land in a month, I might need a scooter. Lame.

Whistler in June, fingers crossed.

And of course, the snow forecast looks great, finally. My kids were on a roll, with one less parent on the hill, I'm afraid they won't get hardly any more skiing this year.

Such is life. Financially it will be fine. It'll work out. It's just not as much fun as it could have been.
