Hey everyone,

 

   First I would like to thank everyone for their support and and phone calls in making sure that I am okay, and for you that don't know i just recently broke my femur last Saturday. i was released from the hospital after a week of treatment and brutal surgery. I now have a rod inside my femur, going from top of my hip to my knee, I broke my femur 12cm's above my knee, probly the worst possible place to break it, but i don't think their is a good place to break it anyways, but very lucky I did not shatter my knee to piece's .

 

   For you that are wondering how it happened, i was jibbing in the Vancouver area, we were hitting a wood rail that went down then flat to drop. but at the end of the rail their is as a crossing hand railing going horizontal to the rail, so if you come off early to the left, then you run into it. and after hitting it a few tims and coming off to the right, the 1 time i cam off left, then boom! broken femur, sounding like a 2by4 breaking. I went into shock right away looking down at my leg and seeing it was shaped like a sideways "V" and started screaming for help. The weird thing is, i was holding onto the handrail the whole time holding myself up, till the ambulance got there. I will hold off on anymore gross details but it was like the jaws of life trying to get me of my snowboard and into the ambulance from this narrow staircase. I would like to thank everyone I was with that day that helped me out, you know who you are. and thanks to everyone for the support that they have gave me so far. Although my season is over, you will see me back in Whistler soon, i will be recovering in Maple Ridge, so if anyones in the area, come by and visit and we'll have a quick video game match.

 

Thanks again for the support.
