Hay all..just a quick update on my antics!
Was up on Coronet Peak on Friday having a ski lesson and stood halfway up the M1 ski slope listening to my instructor and another skier went into me and grabbed onto me, he was out of control and pulled me to the ground landing on me. In the process he twisted my knee joint to excessive limits and caused me to be in loads of pain. I couldn't stand up as I was in so much pain and the snow patrol emergency stretcher vehicle had to come and get me from the mountainside. Never thought I'd get a ride in that beast!!!! They immediately strapped up my leg and took me down to the medical centre where it quickly became clear that some ligaments in my knee had been badly damaged, I couldn't even stand on my left leg as it gave way........
To cut a long story short I'm now on crutches hobbling around my hostel and Queenstown! I'm currently having physio to try and bring down the swelling and bring my knee back to normal so I can walk with out a huge limp!!! I definatly have prime tv position at my hostel and by the end of my stay here would probably have watched all the hostel dvd collection a fair few times!!!! The thing is I hate sitting still so will probally be hell for me for the next few weeks but as long as my knee improves I'm happy to just sit!!!! The plan is to have physio for the next few weeks but I have been told I will definatly need an operation on my knee when I get back to sunny England......So far the physio going ok so will keep you update on what happens over the next few weeks and when I'm off to South America for the "last LEG"!
Love to all from hop along Jen xx xx
