So now, the waiting game. I have a week and a half until my cast and stitches removed and find out how everything is going. I am praying everything is healing ok, as I have a month long road/snow trip in Cali planned for April, so I need recovery to stay on track with no complications.
All going well I should be able to start walking beginning of February, so I am hoping with 8 weeks to have rehab/physio and gain as much strength back as possible to be fit and strong to make the most of spring riding in Cali, as well as be strong for our season back home.
As I mentioned in my first post I was meant to be here for the majority of the season. I was staying here until 12th March, then heading back to Australia for a wedding, and then returning to the states at the beginning of April for my road trip. I am now planning on heading home early. As much as this kills me, lying on the couch here is doing me no good. And by the time I am due to be fit enough to ride it would be time to go anyway. So I figure I will go and have a bit of summer for the first time in awhile, see my fam who I have not seen for over a year, and focus on rehab and getting as fit and well as possible. I am yet to decide when I will go, I was thinking when I can start walking again as I don't fancy trying to drag 100 pounds of luggage through several airports and deal with 30 hours of travel whilst still on crutches. I am going to wait until my appointment on the 6th and see how the healing is going, and make a decision from there. Just the thought of being away from the snow kills me, but a little bit of beach and summer won't be so bad, and I can't ride anyway... I plan on returning to the states a week early to come back to Winter Park to see my mates, and with any luck ride a whole lot of pow before I head to Cali.
So until my appointment I am just planning on more chilling and taking it easy on my ankle.
