Ok admittedly I now have a preexisting condition. I have my first appointment with a non orthopedic specialist next week, an endocrinologist who hopefully will help me figure out what's going on with my bones. Remember that my bone density scans, which measure at the hips and spine (what most people break) are good yet I had a minimal fall and broke multiple bones. This has never made much sense to me and no amount of "googling" has shed any light on the subject.
There is little doubt that my body will be strong enough to ski next season. I intend to work hard on rehab all summer and will probably be in better shape by November than I have been for prior ski seasons. The big question mark is my bone density. It may take a while to figure it out. I was fortunate to get this appointment in March since apparently there is a shortage of some specialists. But if there is medication to rebuild my bones I know I should have started taking it two months ago.
I just read the fine print regarding IKON pass insurance. It clearly states that preexisting conditions are excluded from coverage. It sounds like I can't purchase a pass and expect a refund. Though I will know better in six months about whether I can ski next season, they won't be selling the pass for the same price by then.
What's a crazy avid but admittedly injured girl to do? Note that my Mammoth surgeon said that I would ski again next winter. But my LA surgeon said I would never ski again. You know which opinion I favor.
Has anyone else faced a similar dilemma? Sorry about the 4 am rant. TIA.
