WOW sorry to hear about your life or death ordeal. That was awful. At least you made it through, but I would be willing to bet that it will cause you more issues as you get into your twilight years. Your head injury warning is a good one, and we all learned something from Natasha (Leum Neason's former wife) who was subjected to a fall while skiing and did not think it was a big deal until she began to suffer from a headache and suddenly passed out. She was promounced dead a few hours later. Brain injuries routinely get overlooked, and end up costing someone their life. Glad to hear that you have moved on and seem to be doing well since that day. Peronally I have never gotten passed the bunny hill. I tried doing the downhill run one time, and spent about an hour getting up and falling down every couple of feet. Just could not get it. I can rollerskate all day long and waterski for hours, but the snow and skies just does not compute for me. I wish I could get the hang of it. Our youngest son loves to snowboard and wants me to join him, but at 51 I want to have both of my hips in place for the next 20+ years. Getting old sucks, but I do whatever I can to avoid injury.
