Resilant

Sometimes as I get older I get frustrated with my body whether it's re balancing for dance and adjustments when you change workouts. Then something will happen to remind me how thankful I am for this wonderful amazing body. I had one of those moments this weekend I just got a new snowboard and Friday I was taking it out for it's victory ride. Within five runs I had renamed my board the "go faster" board. Indeed it was faster, prettier a whole lot more slick with lots of tricks then my old beginner board. For a good two runs I thought I owned the hill, sure enough that's when the mountain decided to remind me who was in charge. I caught the switch side edge and proceeded to cartwheel down the hill landing full impact on my right hip. Ouch and ouch to what happens when you show off. I knew it was bad and managed to get down the hill to first aid. Being the insurance savvy gal I am they were not my preferred providers so I begged my lovely husband to take me to the in network park city clinic. One car ride, one wheel chair ride later I was getting my hip x ray ed. I couldn't help thinking how I would do my job for three months in a wheel chair. Thank goodness for the wonderful temple that is my body it was not broken, just a deep bone contusion and a pinched nerve. Crutches, painkillers and taking it easy, I could handle that. That's why I am so thankful to have a body that allowed me to limp into work today and know that with time I will be ok because my body is resilient.
