SKI CRASH UPDATE
Last Monday, as part of my One Million Vertical Foot Challenge, I took
one of the worst falls of my skiing career. It's my own damn fault
for not keeping my skis tuned better. I washed out on a high speed GS
turn, caught an edge and flipped violently onto my leg and then face.
After the crash, I tasted salty warm blood dripping off my face and
mouth, while I lay there wondering if I had broken my leg or, worse,
my neck, which was throbbing with angry pain. I was then evaluated by
Heavenly Valley Ski Patrol who recommended I be splinted and
transported to Barton Memorial Hospital. The Patrol also told me I
was seriously injured and my skiing days were probably over, at least
for this year. Considering that my knee was totally unstable and I
could not put any pressure at all on it, their diagnosis made sense.
However, I felt that I had not fractured any bones and I was wary of
placing myself in the hands of conventional medical doctors, so I
decided I wanted a second opinion, first.
I refused treatment, signed off on their waivers and had a friend
drive me to see my chiropractor instead. Fortunately, he was able to
determine I had no fractures. Then he give me a great deal of relief
with my badly sprained neck and told me to come back the next day, to
see if the swelling in my knee had gone down and he could then
evaluate the damage.
By the next day, things were not nearly so grim.
"THIS JUST ISN'T POSSIBLE. YOU'RE 63 AND YET YOU ARE HEALING LIKE A 25
YEAR OLD," said my chiropractor after he examined me the following
day. My assistant, Damen Tesch, was with me when Dr. David Borges, D.C
told me he expected me to be much worse by the second day, not already
healing and walking around.
"Obviously, you were preloaded with a powerful anti-inflammatory
medicine and the results are unbelievable," said Dr. Borges, who is
aware I am a medical cannabis patient and advocate.
I still have a ways to go, but Dr. Borges says could be skiing again
in as soon as two weeks from now. That's great news, because I still
hope to celebrate my 35th year of surviving cancer with cannabis, by
skiing one million vertical feet. So far, I've completed 150,000
vertical feet, so I still have a good chance of completing my goal,
even with a period of recovery from my current injuries.
Dr. Borges also agreed with me that my daily use of EFA rich hemp oil
has resulted in extraordinary elasticity and strength of my tendons
and ligaments, which should have torn, considering the forces involved
and my age.
Needless to say, I have been making liberal use of my lozenges to
successfully treat my injuries and I am even more enthusiastic than
ever about them.
