Doctor, lawyer, and Indian (YMCA) chief . . . PLUS a preacher, computer guru, 6-time BMX national champ/bicycle salesman, and a college student.
This unlikely mix of testosterone was actually a father-son ski trip to Steamboat.
Unfortunately, the doctor and the preacher arrived a day too late - the day after Steve and Eric arrived.
The GOOD news: this is NOT a picture of Steve.
The BAD news: this IS a picture of Eric's shoulder after his second run of the day. The rest of the day was spent in the Yampa Valley ER and then trying to dull the pain and sorrow. (Eric and Angela went to Utah to ski in February. They never got to hit the slopes because they both got hit by the influenza instead.)
So what do you think happened the next day? (Steamboat had a record-setting snowfall this year and unprecedented fresh powder even for spring skiing.)
Yep, Eric skied. (But he did admit to his lapse in judgment - and the painful price he paid.) Surgery is April 17th.
I'm pretty sure this entry violates HIPPA ;)
Ouch. I've done that before. Not the skiing ... I'd die. The breakage. In the same place when I was 9. So I understand!!
Recover quickly, Eric!!
