Keep Skymama in your thoughts

Instead of dwelling on all the negatives of this incident. We can look at some positives and that is that this is a great opportunity for Skymama's daughter to get some driving experience with Mom sitting next to her for guidance.



Looped on narcs...cool... :D

I told Andrea that the forums were going to fall apart without her being able to type as fast as she does.

Thoughts and prayers for Andrea. She will probably suffer more from the drive home than the broken wrists (this coming from a mom who taught two kids to drive - very nervewracking). Hopefully she is on good drugs :P, Snowboarding was my favorite sport until I discovered skydiving, and while I never broke anything I had some major bruises. I get much less beat up with skydiving. Good luck on the drive home Andrea, heal soon, and stick to skydiving...much safer IMO.

It's funny, cause Andrea was saying that if she had been skydiving, she never would have gotten hurt. She even told the doctors that she' going to stick with skydiving, since it's safer. I wish I could have seen the look on the doctor's face when she said that.

You know, Andrea's daughter might need some of those "valumes" too. Cross country driving can be pretty stressful, especially with your mom in the seat next to you watching everything you do!



It's Valium:P And, if her mother won't let her drive, i'm assuming driving on drugs is out:D

Heal fast, Andrea! Broken stuff is no fun. Follow doctors orders, and if they say take Valium, well, so be it;):)

Holy cow! Now she is going to:
a) have to use her toes to type
or
b) put a pencil in her mouth and hunt and peck
c) or....???

Heal quickly Mama!



she'll still type better than wingnut and I.



But I picture ANDREA as the breakfast club molly ringwald when she's getting her make up on!:D

We made it home!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Alix came through like a trooper and drove the entire way, never complaining. She did great and I'm so proud. She only had 10 hours of driving before this on the flatlands. Now she can add mountain driving in the dark, rain and fog and I-95 to her skills! B|

Thanks sooooo much for all of the wonderful well wishes. I knew it couldn't have just been the Vicodin helping with the pain!;) Forgive me if I don't answer every pm and well wish, typing with 1 finger is hard! :S My mouth works fine though, so call me! :ph34r:

My injury: We did great on the bunny slope which gave us false confidence, I guess. I never fell, had great balance, all was good. I asked for wrist guards and helmets before the class but we got there right when it started and would have had to wait 2 hours for the next class because the rentals were in a separate building. Big mistake! It was the last day this mtn. was open and we wanted to get started. Sigh...hindsight is 20/20. [:/]

We went up the lift (scary in itself! :o) and when I got off it seemed really, really steep! My kids took off and I stood there plotting my course. My son came back again for his second run and showed me the way to go. I started off, fell a couple times but got up and kept going fine. I was going facing backwards still doing fine until I had to avoid people so I turned my shoulders to curve the board up and lost my balance and fell back on my ass. I didn't thow my hands back, they were more by my sides. But, I was on a slope so when I fell back they kind of jammed into the slope. B| I was too proud to call the ski patrol, so I hiked down carrying my board with my broken wrist. Yes, I'm a dork! :P

My injuries: my left wrist has a hairline fracture. I have a lace up splint on it so I can at least take it off and do personal stuff. :$ It is getting more strength every day. I even opened a soda can with it today. Woohoo! My right was totally fractured and had to be reset. I have a soft cast on it now and it hurts and throbs like a mofo if I put it below my heart. I eagerly await for when I can take more drugs. I couldn't take them today with Alix driving so I wasn't drowsy. It was tough. I go to the doc on Mon. for a real cast. I'll be out for 6-8 weeks. :(

One thing I learned is that my mouth is more handy than I thought it was! ;)

I'll be here moderating, but since this just took 30 min. to type, I won't be posting much. Thanks again, y'all. :)

Your daughter is awesome. I know i would've been terrified to drive home if i was in her place. Thank god you can at least tend to your personal needs yourself. Take care and whine whenever you feel the need.
