πΏ SKI LIFT SAFETY PSA: Watch Out for the Person NEXT TO You!
Plot twist we didn't see coming: The woman who injured my husband was sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HIM on the ski lift! π³
She lost control coming off the lift and sent him straight into a snow fence. I somehow dodged her. He didn't.
Result: 2 MCL sprains. 2 knee braces.
Moral of the story:
1. Ski lift exits are more dangerous than you think
2. Always have a good integrative medicine practitioner on speed dial
3. Life comes at you fast (literally)
On the bright side? We now have an amazing recovery story to share! 12 days later, he's walking without braces and we're still on track for Patagonia.
What's your craziest injury story? Bonus points if it involves someone you were sitting next to! π
