Thanks and a health update
I just wanted to say hello to all the people that have wished me good luck in my recovery. A quick update for everyone: I flew to Salt Lake City and I am up in Park City right now getting checked out by some of the U.S. team doctors that are in the area. I haven’t done anything yet, but I imagine I will be doing some tests and getting checked out by the experts. I will then head home to Seattle for a break after doing that for a few days. I will update you all if there is some cool test I get to do or anything like that.
A general update: I feel a bit beat up though the neck and shoulders, a bit like I was kicked in the head to top that off. A bit slower on my memory, but that seems to be improving fairly quickly.
Really fast before I go, Thank you for your best wishes and notes that you all have sent either to my e-mail address or to the site. I read them all and I am slowly working through them. You guys are the best.
If you are wondering what happened, there is plenty of video on youtube to check out. My early thoughts as to what happened are that I hit just a little lip on the left ski and it floated on me. I tried to pull under it but it floated high and twisted me too fast. I blame the 142-kph heat I was carrying.
thanks and more to come… Scott

Hi Scott,

Scott, it’s good to hear your “voice.”

Scott… Watching that happen to you was so disturbing. Your remarkable progress really speaks to your conditioning and fitness level. Okay… and the hardness of your head. And I know that I speak for more than myself when I say that whatever “that” is, that brought you through your experience, I am truly thankful.
God bless
Peace, Love and Happiness in your recovery.

Oh Scott, it´s so good to hear from you and to know you´re alright. I have good memories of the evening we had and on saturday I realized that even if we never meet again, for me the world is brighter when I know you´re in it.
Take care & big hug
