More fractures.... :-(

The last year has been a nightmare, to say the least! An ankle injury last August right before the Europeans, put me out for the rest of the year and while in recovery, I underwent two more major re-constructive surgeries, one in October and one in January.

It was fab to finally get back into training at the end of May. I was excited and really looking forward to the 2011 World Disabled Water Ski Championships, which are taking place next week in Cincinnati, Ohio. Unfortunately, while slalom training in the middle of June, I came off my ski and broke my foot !!!

We have now discovered that these recent fractures are due to severe injuries sustained in the major trauma, while training in Tampa, Florida in 2004.

I am gutted and pretty frustrated at having to miss another ski season, but the most important thing is to get the foot and ankle properly healed up and then strengthened, so as soon as I get out of the air boot I'll be able to start rehab, lucky me!!!
