Lets face it, injuries suck.
There is nothing worse than the moment it happens.
Your eyes widen, something gives, and you know your season is over.
Im currently on the #roadtorecovery as I bang out this.
My number one priority is being informed.
What all do I need for the surgery, and what do I need after?
How can I hide my piercing from my Dad?
When can I ski again?
What the hell are they doing in there, and most importantly, will I get pain pills?
Having all your questions answered should be the first thing you get done.
Making sure you have all the needed items for post opp should be included in this.
Secondly, Im gonna get as many days in as I can.
Should I fall Ive got a protective cushion to ensure my arm isnt damaged any further.
Besides, Im already hurt.
My season is over.
My parents have finally caved and gotten Netfix.
see to it youve got back up plans, just incase one doesnt work out.
Ive asked a few friends if they had any suggestions, things to do before you cant do anything.
One friend would use his last days to their full advantage.
Skiing, snowshoeing, having fun.
Spend time with friends.
Another simply said theyd go Paraskiing.
My favorite response was do something you really want to.
Something that youre not going to be able to do for sometime.
Post Opp got you down?
Personally, Im a huge hockey fan.
Thankfully the Olympics can tide me over during the seasons break.
We live in the digital age.
Newschoolers is an awesome community, use it to your advantage.
Give a topic youve been curious about a chance!
Lastly, its important to understand whats about to happen.
Getting surgery is a big deal.
Dont freak yourself out and youll be fine.
Nerves are completely expected, and youll be up and going in no time.
If youve had a season ender, stay strong.
Get to work on healing that sucker up and strengthening it for the next season.
The mountains arent going anywhere, and neither are you.
