Since today is my birthday, it seemed like a good idea to go skiing one last time this winter.
Probably not such a good idea in hinsight as I ended up with a broken arm and a few cracked ribs after attempting a 360 back flip at the end of a half pipe (obviously the truth is far less impressive but the results just the same).
I'm just back from the hospital and I guess you can say I'm rather lucky: neither the elbow, the wrist or the hand have been damaged (and since it is the left hand, I can still type this down albeit at an even slower rate than usual), the bone has broken neatly and did not move. So, all in all, I should be in for 3 weeks with a cast.
Sparing me the embarrassment of singing at 'The Voice' with it at the end of April. Too bad I probably won't be able to accompany myself on the guitar. But what really hurts right now are the cracked ribs. Hopefully it will get better quickly because otherwise I won't be able to sing more than 3 notes without screaming in agony !
