Disappointing but sensible!

Sun, 4 Dec 2011 18:31:23 GMT

Today I've decided to cancel my January 4 ski trip; despite intensive physio, not certain the achilles tendon injury is going to be up to it by then. :cry:

Much more sensible to postpone until March, I think!

So no more webcam/lack of snow anxiety for a little while yet! :)

Bad news Lota, only you will know if your body is fully recovered ... good luck for March :thumbup:

Well done.....
I really mean that, a tough decision but hopefully one that means that when you do go everything works and you can enjoy many more amazing ski trips over the years to come.

I'd do a big hug emoticon if there was one i knew how to use. :-)

Probably the right decision, if that helps.

Bad luck Lota. Absolutely right decision not to ski. Achilles tendon injuries are one of the worst injuries. They seem to take ages to recover, and there seems to be no point of confidence that the injury is fully recovered.

Sorry to hear that Lota, but also glad that you are being sensible! March will come round soon, the snow will probably be better and you will ski more confidently. :D

Hi Lota,

Sorry to here that, but sometimes it's best to let the head rule the heart.....another 3 months or so of physio and treatment should work wonders, just don't over do it in March.

My knee still gives me jip even after two years......might have something to do with not having any physio and the only medical treatment I had at the time was to strap cold bottles of beer to my knee with a tea towel the last few days of my holiday....then take the contents internally...

......purely for medical reasons you understand :D

Hope all goes well and a speedy recovery.

jon.

Thanks all - didn't really agonise over it as it was the only sane and sensible thing to do.

However, this afternoon after carrying out a little research online and a few telephone calls to Austria, I'm even happier. The cost of the airport-resort transfer is being refunded, and I can switch my flight to later in the season for just GBP35. I've not paid for the hotel yet and was able to cancel with no penalty.

All in all, pretty content with what could have been a touch miserable!!!

Well, bummer about the original date, but great news about the changes.

I'm sure you know, but it is the sensible option, and unfortunately they are the one which often hurt the most.

I really hope you are fully OK for March, and get to have the second best week of weather for the season (the best week being the beginning of Feb when I go!) :twisted:

Sorry to read you had to cancel LOTA, hope you'll be fully recovered by March. Glad that the resulting financial pain wasn't too severe!

Sounds like the smart thing to do. Think of how much stronger and fitter you'll be. You'll have much more fun.

You lucky thing, you are now free of having to get up first thing and check the webcams and forecasts and then checking them every half an hour with that glimmer of hope that they have changed for the better. ) ) )

However, without a doubt you have made the right decision, great to see some money back. :thumbup:

Unfortunately when Jan comes the desire to web cam watch will be back and you won't be able to ignore it. :-)

Lota

You chose wisely. I ruptured my Achilles a few years ago and it took a long time to mend. You certainly do not want to rush it and re-rupture. That would be bad. Enjoy the trip in March.

Cheers
