Thats about the sum of itHOLY MOLY, @AJM … so you were in pain on leg 1, likely due to torn meniscus (?)…Then broke leg 2/tore meniscus/found or developed Baker’s cyst AND broke ankle on leg 1 as well? You’re an absolute tough as nails lady. Sending you healing thoughts on this journey.
Glad to hear you are making steady progress! Hopefully this will all be behind you quite soon. Fingers crossed you will be able to get to skiing this year, but be kind to yourself as you adjust back.Well here I am just over 6 months since the "awfully big crash" and things are improving but sheeesh its been slow !!
The TPF has healed well, I still get occasional pain from it but its well on its way to being back to normal. The ankle break is all healed but the tendons still give me grief, apparantly they will take a long time to settle fully. Mensicus's still cause issues and I'll find out in a couple of weeks if they will need trimming. That leaves the bakers cyst which to be honest hasnt really bothered me at all which is a blessing what with everything else going on
I'm still very restricted in what I can and cant do and my life this past Summer (Southern Hemi) has been very very different to what it normally is. Thank goodness I've been able to kayak (open top as there's no way I could get in a cockpit) and swim but thats been about it along with hours and hours on the exercycle !!
But today I went down to our local ski shop and tried on new ski boots and I managed to get them on without too much pain so I'm calling that a win
Still not sure if I'll be ok to ski this season but I live in hope even if its just on the beginner slope

Its looking good, I've just had a week of personal bests -Glad to hear you're on the path to mending!
Such great news! Wonderful to start your season on a good note!!Sooooo I had another visit with the surgeon today after having a CT scan a few weeks ago just to make sure the fracture had healed properly and the upshot is that the meniscus tears aren't big enough to warrant trimming and the pain I'm still having is due to bone bruising around the fracture site which apparently can take a long time to come right.
Its a relief to know I dont need surgery and that the fracture has healed so that just leaves the bone bruising which will eventually diminish .... whew
