Today, I fractured a bone in my knee. Now not only do I have to wear a huge knee brace for the next two months, I'll have to sit around in a hotel room all of next week while my family has fun skiing in the mountains. FML

Today, after I fell over and fractured my knee, I've been in hospital for a week. I now have a metal plate in my knee, and am due to be off work for months, I wouldn't mind as much if I hadn't been hit by a car two years ago, spent a week in hospital for a fractured vertebrae, and was off work for months.

Today, I was supposed to leave for Switzerland for a month, to see my boyfriend whom I haven't seen for over 6 months. Unfortunately, I broke my leg three days ago and I now I need to stay home and get surgery. FML

Today, I slipped and fell on a piece of plastic. I thought nothing of it until I went to the doctor's and found out that I fractured and dislocated my kneecap. I'm now in a full leg brace and crutches. Prom is five days away. FML

Today, on my first ski run down a mountain, I dislocated my patella. Now I get to watch out of the window as my family builds a snowman and names it after me. FML

Today, I went to my doctor to get my x-ray results. Turns out, I have a fractured spine and a chip of my spine has moved. Now I'm in a neck brace because my dad didn't think it was serious, and told me to "suck it up princess." FML

Today, after months of begging, I finally convinced my friends to go skiing with me. On our first run I suggested a race. Everybody loved the idea. Good news: I came in first. Bad news: I tore a ligament in my knee. It will be operated on tomorrow. FML

Today, I fractured my tibia, fibula, and tore a tendon in my ankle. How? You might ask. By stepping in a hole at soccer practice. Now I’ll be out for the entire season with months of rehab. FML

Today, my doctor called and asked me when I could have my broken hand x-rayed again. I said the ER staff had told me it was a bad sprain over two weeks ago. I'm now in a full cast, and have to have my partially healed bones re-broken. There goes my summer. FML

Carry that weight

Today, I was getting up from sitting on the floor. I lent on the coffee table to help support my weight and heard a pop. I'd bruised the tendons in my wrist and now have to wear a wrist guard for 6 weeks. FML

Or you can play Skyrim and tell everyone about how you took an arrow to the knee.

The ski season may be short this year, if we don't get some snow asap in Colorado. Last year it was from october till 4th of July. This year....maybe next month :(.

How painful is it? Impossible to ski with a knee brace? If it has been a few weeks since you injured it, maybe you can still ski with a leg brace. I snowboard with my leg brace, because I tore my ACL. I was snowboarding a few weeks after my surgery as long as i have my brace, I am fine.

My orthopedic surgeon said that a fracture is almost the same thing as a break so unfortunately I don't think he will be able to ski.

That does sound pretty ironic but don't let it ruin your whole trip! Go sit by the fireplace in the lobby and curl up with a good book. Mingle with other visitors of the hotel and chit chat with the hotel staff and they might try to make your stay better by getting you room service perks, etc. Maybe you will meet some cute person who will say "Aw poor baby" and will carry you around in their arms from place to place. Don't just stay couped up in your room!
