Little Lightning
Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Wednesday I skied at Snowbird. A Beaver Creek Ski Instructor asked to join us on a quad lift. There were 3 of us so plenty of room to get off. When we slid off he caught the back of my left ski and pulled me down the ramp. Of course, I fell. My chronically injured left leg was twisted up with the ski. Fortunately, my SO undid my binding so my leg did not get any more of a twist. Was able to stand up ok but had a light burning pain in my knee. Found a ski patrol at the restaurant so he checked out my knee. Said the injury was a mild strain in the Pes Anserine muscles. Encouraged me to go ahead a ski which I did. Also noticed a slight pain in my ankle and it hurt when I put on my shoe. Both knee and ankle were achy while sleeping. Got up yesterday morning, no swelling in knee but foot was swollen and black and blue! Swelling was mostly around top of foot and around/underneath the medial ankle bone.
Got some Kinesiology Tape and applied it to my ankle and knee. Slept well last night but knee was stiff when I got up in the middle of the night. This morning the swelling in my foot is mostly gone but still some purple around the arch on the inside of my foot. Knee feels pretty good although the muscles in my leg feel sore. So far no need for pain medication. Just feeling frustrated because I haven't skied the Utah resorts in years and my trip is cut short because of an injury.
