Thanks all for your kind thoughts, I got out of hospital on Saturday but have had a chronic headache since Thursday night which is apparently due to my skull healing :shock: On Friday they had me on a mixture of 5 painkillers: Paracetamol, IV Paracetamol, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen and Novocaine :!:
Shoulder feels remarkably good, lots of movement but just cant put a lot of load on it so far. Have a follow up x-ray this week, but if it's anything like the last ones I may not bother.....they made me stand upright and hold 30 lbs weights in either hand to drop my shoulders so they could see the extent of the fracture!!! I could'nt complian however as the young x-ray technician was a very cute lass indeed :D Accident may have been a blessing in diguise as they found inetresting stuff going on in my brain unrealated to the fall. All in all i had 6 x-rays, 2 CT scans and 2 MRI's performed. Neurologist said its impossible to determine what exactly is going on, so if I suffer any motor problems, increased sensitivity or lack of cognative function I must immediately return for MRI to compare it to the baseline they now have. So looks like I will be there evry Friday night :lol: If not I must return in 3 months and have it done anyway. Could be as innocent as atifacts from childhood. He also said flying to Santiago should be no problem, so I think I will go and do some photography instead of boarding, will be good to take the break. So lessons learnt: 1. Don't do any other sport than snowboarding 2. Buy a helmet 3. Hospitals are the worst pace on earth if you have a chronic headache |

Thanks all, still hoping to go even if I can't ride. Will be good R&R. It's a real dissapointment, but we will see. I am still staying in hospital, they are delaying a decision on operating on my shoulder until they know exactly what's going on in my head. CT showed more than just a fracture so had 2 MRI scans this evening and get all the news tomorrow morning. Bugger.

Woohoo, they have started reporting :)
http://www.skiportillo.com/tiemponieve/ingles.asp Looks like you were spot on Brimster, needs a few flurries more (or a big dump), but with 15 days to go I am excited. |

Cheers Brim!!
Been following the reports religiously, and there seems to have been a few flurries, but as none of the resorts are reporting yet, it is difficult to tell what the actual state is up there! Portillo officially opens on the 22nd I think, then it will be easier to track whats going on. You gonna make it up for some skiing? |
