skiing misadventure broken ankle
I was skiing on lousy (snow gun blown) snow at Mt Snow, VT when I got my ski caught in a rut (like cement) & heard a loud SNAP & fell with excruciating pain. Fortunately, the base clinic Doc gave me Dilaudid, which enabled boot removal & survival until could reach orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Mark Klion, who said surgery was the only option for my Bimallelolar Ankle Fracture. Has anyone else had this?? WOW, the pain is terrible. Had ORIF Ankle at Mount Sinai Hospital, where the surgery went well; but they tried their best to ruin me (ignore, not take care of me - is it the nurses??) postop, where I had allergic reaction & bad pain management.
