All classes on hold… – but hopefully restarting soon!

O.k., so I had that freaky crazy climbing accident... - totally my mistake after a short, sleepless night... I planned to climb just the start of an interesting path (like first 4m up - and then back down) and didn't attach myself to the machine for that reason... - but then forgot that plan in between, being taken by that path... - and climbed all the way up, thinking I DID attach myself... - and then jumped from 8m, thinking the machine will take me down slowly... Amazingly, it resulted in just a minor head injury and in two broken bones in my ankle... - that at first made me crazy sad... - afterall, I have never ever been either ill or injured in my life, so I'm really not a good patient...

BUT after talking to the owner of a climbing facility who found the video (I didn't remember at all what happened... - I'm incredibly happy it's just the ankle!!! It's actually a miracle I'm still alive... I guess I must have 7 lives... 6 more to go!

I'm still in. hospital and not allowed lots of computer time because of some blood in my brain that needs to absorb, so all the classes and DVD dispatch are on hold at the moment... - but there won't be any consequences to my brain and the bones will heal, so I'm doing great and hopefully I can review the videos this weekend!

THANK YOU for your patience and BIG thanks to Polona for taking care of everything... - and Maša, Manca and Nuša of course - thank you sooo much!!! I promise we'll be back to our runs in the woods soon, doggies... And yeah, back to climbing as well... - my newest big passion 🙂 Just no more crazy!!! 🙂

    Oh my goodness…just now popping over to your blog. So sorry to read about your accudent. Please take care and heal. My sense is you just *might* be the type of person to push your recovery. When tempted, remember what a very wise person has written, “going SLOW is sometimes the fastest way to get to where you want to go.” Prayers for a full recovery.

      Ha ha, yeah, I did Google everything on “how to speed up recovery”. But looks like landing after 8m of a free fly takes its toll, so I’m not really walking the dogs in the woods on crunches as planned just yet…

    Hi Silvia , I was just wondering how you are doing ? I hope you are healing nicely and it’s not too bad. I will continue to pray that you heal quickly but also correctly too, so you don’t have problems with the ankle or head in the future. Take care!

    Becky and Mari

      Thank you Becky!!! I’m feeling much better already -- no more headaches, just some dizziness still. And bones are healing well, so hopefully I’ll be running and climbing again soon 🙂

    OMG, just saw this! Hope you are making a good recovery X. How awful. Must have been a lot of pain.

    I just signed up for another graduate year. Hadn’t done it sooner as weather in UK been awful so not able to get out and do skills stuff.

    Get well soon and we can pick back up then XXX

      Yes, I’m much better already, so no problem to post what you have!

    Oh my! So glad you’re better. My daughter is a climber. I always worry, but she says her nickname is Safety Sally. Maybe a good nickname for you too.

      Ha ha, yes… I’m more of a bouldering fan (lower heights, no safety equipment, more technical), so I do need to be more careful to remember when I’m NOT bouldering!!! 🙂
