An abrupt end to my ski vacation (1 Viewer)

[MikesDad]

Sorry to hear about your injury doc, but looks like you have enough beer to tide you over for a full recovery
Perhaps you'll just have to stay by the firepit until fully recovered

 

[inca911]

You must be injured, as there are clearly not enough ski bunny pictures. Get well soon!

 

[Mrs Poker Zombie]

I wish you a speedy recovery!

As a former walking-boot wearer, I recommend making the effort to ensure you wear a good shoe on your right foot. Specifically one that give you some height, thus reducing strain on your hips from having 2 leg lengths.

I was thinking about nailing a 2 x 4 to the bottom of my shoe

Sounds about right.... LOL

You're Jon Snow. A calf injury and walking boot are nothing to a man who lived beyond the wall.

Kidding aside, best wishes on a fast recovery.

 

[Lil Tuna]

Ouch Mark, so sorry to hear the news. At least you’ve got some beautiful scenery to look at while your drinking your beer.
Hope the calf feels better soon and wishing you a speedy recovery.

hiking sober

That's a thing?

 

[PAZ]

Sorry to hear this Mark. I hope you're right as rain soon.

 

[k9dr]

Following Dr’s orders I see... “keep your foot elevated and stay hydrated with IPAs”

I’m trying

 

[k9dr]

Hot tub rum

Dinner time

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Not sure whether alcohol actually kills pain, or if you drink enough you just don't care.

Gotta love a party in the hot tub!

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

Mark, sorry to hear about your injury. I know you will get well soon, as I can see from the pics that you’re taking all your prescribed IPAs!!

I am currently in Lake Tahoe for a family ski vacation. Everything was going great and the scenery is beautiful here.

We have a pretty cool house to stay in and the kids were playing in the backyard down by a stream ....... until we saw the bears

Lots of great beers out here

Unfortunately at the end of day 2 skiing, I had a fall and popped a calf muscle. I did get to ride in a rescue sled and ended up with a really cool walking boot.

When I got home, my family had made a left shoe shrine, complete with an offering to the beer gods.

So it looks like the rest of my trip will be mostly this

At least my MRI showed no muscle tear, just a severe strain, so hopefully recovery will be faster.

That sucks man, sorry to hear it. At least you are in a beautiful part of the country with some of the best craft beers in the world to help carry you through. Hope you feel better soon!

 

[shorticus]

Take care @k9dr. Injuries suck, but glad you’re okay.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

That sucks. On the bright side you get to kick back and watch the Lightning make a run for the cup.

 

[k9dr]

Morning casino stumble - bet a hundo on Lightning < 5.5

 

[RichMahogany]

Love the outdoor area at the Hard Rock. Hung out by the fire pits with a few drinks last time I was in Tahoe.

Sorry about your leg.

 

[dennis63]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Sir!

Having gone skiing once, I could have told you this would not end well!

 

[k9dr]

Taking my morning pain meds - Lead Dog Gnar Gnar DIPA

 

[JFCJ]

Speedy recovery Mark!

 

[k9dr]

Next stop - The Brewery - BAMF IPA

 

[k9dr]

Lunchtime - Onion Orgy Burger at Izzy’s

 

[TheBigTater]

Sorry to see you having such a rough time of recovery there Mark. Looks like pure hell.

 

[Forty4]

Dare I say this might be your best trip ever?

Really long game, fakes the injury pays the doc off with his winnings from the Windy Crest while waiting on the MRI results. Drinks rest of the trip while family goes skiing. Also more time for Windy Crest poker.

 

[Forty4]

Also now ever year he says to his family I’m going to take it easy today, don’t want to hurt myself again. And off he goes to the brewery’s.

 

[k9dr]

It’s a tough job, but someone has to scout the breweries - Lupulo Nimbus

 

[slisk250]

That sucks Mark. Can you prescribe yourself elephant tranquilizers for the pain?
