On the second day of skiing, Kaylene was confident to go down the slopes so we went to Blue Cow. Darren wasn't too keen on snowboarding, he found it hard to get back up whenever he fell over. Whereas Nathan and Justin took to snowboarding like skateboarding. Justin more so, having no fear, whereas Nathan was more cautious.
We did a few runs down the beginners before going to the otherside of Blue Cow. Skied some runs on the beginners chairlifts and then headed down to the quad chair. I think we did one run and were going down again when I hesitated and instead of going around a corner, proceed down the shortcut steep slope, and utlimately lost control. Ended up in a heap and felt my knee pop. It was bent in an awkward position. Took me a while to straighten it and get myself back up, but it was hurting. In the meantime, Kaylene had made her way down to the chair lift with Bindy. No idea how I managed to ski down, but I did, got into the chairlifts and back up to Blue Cow station. No more ski-ing for me. Hobbled around for the rest of the day. I think Darren and I ended up just waiting around until the end of the day when we made our way back to Front Valley by tube, the others traversed back.
By then I was limping, my knee was throbbing, but still hadn't been looked at. Evan had to drive back to the hotel where we were staying. I think he also had to drive us home, cause my knee was too painful. When I did eventually get it seen to by a doctor, it was a medical centre doctor. I had to get x-rays and not too sure but the outcome was a torn ligament (ACL? Anterior crucial ligament). I had to see a physiotherapist for weeks having hot and cold treatments. I was on crutches, but no cast, just a knee brace.
