The ridiculous thing was one of my first thoughts was "this could ruin my ski trip in January" :shock: Just goes to show how obsessed we are :wink:

Thankfully, a trip to the ER confirmed that nothing was broken and no sign of any other significant problems. So apart from rather painful internal bruising, I should be fine after a few days :lol:.

I spoke too soon :cry:. I got a phone call from the hospital on Sunday asking me to come in for a further review. They had looked more closely at the X-rays and concluded that I have two fractured ribs and small puncture to my lung :!:. I don't know whether to be angry with the hospital for missing the damage first time round or impressed that they conduct a review of all X-rays to make sure everything is alright. In any event, my January ski trip is definitely off :cry: :cry: :cry:.

Hopefully, I will be full recovered in time for the February mid-term trip. I might also have to have a look at a late season long weekend to compensate :wink:

That's bad news for you wanderer, I've had a collapsed lung before and it can be serious and very painful, life threatening in fact. Hopefully yours will re inflate on its own otherwise you're in for a really tough time. Fingers crossed for you.

Meanwhile, the sun has shone on mrs h and her toe has healed sufficiently for the hospital to this morning confirm she will be ok to return to work and to ski in January.

I now have just over 2 weeks to get her fit!!!

hope you get fit and manage to get on the trip...but make sure you have a good lawyer and line up your witnesses

That's great news Tony - marvellous Christmas present for both of you :)
