Snowbird Days 5 and 6

Yesterday I woke up in pain.  Though the day was absolutely gorgeous I opted to stay in and spend the day with Stephanie.  Mike left about noon and skied for a few hours.  Stephanie and I went over to the center to buy her a book to read.  She is such a fast reader.  Then we came back to the room and I went to the gym and spent over an hour there.  The exercise felt good and it did not strain my leg too much.  Honestly, after that fall on Wed.  I didn't think I would ever want to ski again.  While Stephanie read I played on the computer a bit.  Sometimes the quiet days are the best.  Sally Jo and Keith came back up last night and today everything was different.

I was scared to go out today.  The day again was absolutely beautiful, clear and sunny.  Today I got my ski legs back.  I was able to keep up with Mike.  My rhythm was good.  It is amazing what a heavy dose of Ibuprophen right before you start skiing will do.  There was no pain.  I felt comfortable and had an absolutely wonderful time.  Today I am sorry this is our last day here.
