Well, I certainly have been avoiding my blog, mostly because I wanted to wait until I had something positive to write...and now I do! I’m in Europe after a few days in Calgary where I was given the go ahead to ski. As many of you already know, my knee wasn’t good enough to go skiing in Chile so I missed that camp entirely. I heard it was great training and I was sad to miss it, although, I know the physiotherapists and doctors made the right call.
I’m now close to 100% and I’ve been skiing the last two days. The knee held up well and I’m adding volume each day as things progress. I was happy to see that I hadn’t forgot how to ski!
Since my crash in New Zealand (and my last blog) I have been busy with physio, staying in shape and rebuilding my right leg. I’m now back physically and feeling nervous and excited about getting back on skis. It’s such an odd feeling to be a ‘ski racer’ yet be away from my skis for such a long time.
During my time at home, I was able to watch a lot of the Beijing Olympics, spend time with David, take little vacation, and attend my sister’s spectacular wedding. All and all, life is good and moving forward.
I'll be in touch again soon with another Blog!!
Smiles,
Kelly
