so my story is, i was sleding at the hill, and i was running up the hill, and some kid decided it would be funny to see me fall... HILARIOUS!!!!   threw a crazy carpet under my foot, and i came back and landed on it. Now i'm just getting out of the hospital (5days,luucky me) 6 pins and a plaate and casted for 6 weeks... I had soo much going for me. Joining the reserves, i was 67 days away from my childhood dream. I can't ski for 2 months (docter said i would be in too much pain to even ski this year but said thats the earliest i can put a boot on) and now my life (or so it seems) is over..

So i was wondering if anybody else can't ski this year, and what is your way of dealing with it ?

I've had back problems since i was about 12. Last spring I was running track and it got especially bad. I went to the doctor, got as MRI, I had a bulging disk in my lower back. I did PT for the rest of the spring, and the entire fall. Winter track started 2 weeks ago. I ran for a week and my pain came back. I'm having a bone scan later this week to see if I've got a stress fracture. It really pisses me off that I get this pain because I really love running and I'm pretty good too (claim).

Luckily it doesn't hurt at all when I ski, only when I run.

i'm not going to lie, i want too.  But i don't want to be the asshole that sues him, but then i thiink he was asshole enough to want to see me fall.

Even tho i live in canada anybody think i have a valid case, if i choose to sue him ?

Man that's brutal. how can you live with that. the closest thing i can compare that to is that I got symmetric muscle tears in my left and right quads that come back any time I sprint. it's annoying but it's not nearly as bad as your injury.

hope you feel better soon. by the way, as soon as your leg heals, KICK THAT MOTHERFUCKER RIGHT IN THE GNARDS!

You have a very valid case and he is totally in the wrong, but in Canada we cant just sue fuckers because of that shit. But you could track him down and have him pay "compensation" for your injuries and whatever else he messed up. Like a bit of depression due to no skiing, or missing work, but because in this lovely country we have health care, any of that money that doesnt go to sending you to specialty doctors will go in your pocket so to speak, or your parents. That would teach him a thing or two.

i'm deffinitly going to go take pictures of my friends when they go jibbin. but for the mostpart its tough to hop around on one leg in snow, and ice.

mike.armada: thanks for the response. That's what i think i'm going to do. Considering (in my post before this all the money i'm loosing.) and the fact is i'm getting mad depressed considering i can't reff, can't play hockey, can't ski, and can't do my reserve training.) i'm loosing out on a lot, and withthe money i was making, i was going to build up my bike this winter. My life is ruined for the next few months forsure, and i'm probley going to have ankle problems for a longtime now.  Some cash to compensate for all of this would be lovely.

I can still get into the reserves, but my bmq course started feb 15th and, i can't do that now. i'd have to go away for the summer now.  where about's are you located?

and to the person who said sueing people's whats wrong with america: Man, i have no source of income now. i'm still in highschool. But i pay my way everywhere. Everything i own is from working. Because of this injury, i'm broke. absolutely broke. Sure i'm mad, i've never accutaly been more pissed of in my life. My life was going down the drain, in every possible way. It did start back up, with my course coming up, getting my full license, getting my lvl 2 reffing. When i ski, everything, no matter what's wrong in my life is perfect again, even if it's just for a few hours. I've been waiting (as long as everybody on this site for those few hours.) i'm in no way trying to bitch about this, but is it alright that this kid gets a laugh out of seeing other people fall ? Somebody he never even met before ? Sure, hahaha. it was funny, I fell. You can't go around doing shit like this. He deserves it.

Yeah dude, like honestly, you need to go after him. He's a complete dick for doing that...more than that. But you shouldn't be payin for those medical bills and you need compensation for any issues that might come up in the future (e.g. chronic back pain from a car acident). I think you need to file a report and sue his ass. Do you get his name or did the little shit make a run for it? Things might be / seem really bad now, but you are alive and things will get better. Keep your chin up. Karma is a bitch and he will get it. +++vibes to you though and I wish you all the best.

for the most part, he ran. I cursed, yelled, and bitched, and was in too much pain to conisder asking him questions. I bet he was scared at first. he then came back and said it was an "accident" when he tried to trip my buddie right before.  AGain i really don't have any medical bills, insurance covered everything. I was told i would have ankle pain for the rest of my life, and artharitis when i'm older due to the plate, and pins.  SKiing will probley hurt, so skiing competetivly bumps will be harder on me. i'm going to still. It's my favorite thing in the world.  Brightside his olderbrother is friends with my neighbour, and i'm getting his info through my neighbour. Eh, could be worse? couuld be in a full leg cast, you're right life is just going to get better.

"he should cover all of that

his intentional stupidity led to you getting seriously injured and losing money"

I know, thats what i think. I hope the court sees my way.  I just don't know about doing all of this.

When it comes down to it, the decision is yours to make. In all honesty, you would be very wise to go after him--especially since you were told that you would have ankle pain for the rest of your life and arthritis when you are older because of the plate and pins.

I actually don't know the best way to go about it but, you may first just wanna talk to him and tell him what you are thinking of doing and maybe he wont wanna deal with a middle man. but I would have to think that a lawyer would be the best place to start, because if what you say is true than he is jipping you from lots of $$ you could be making.

I broke my leg 2 weeks before graduation, my birthday, prom, and 3 weeks before my shipment date for reserves in 04. i have a metal plate and pins too on the side of my ankle. but because of it I was able to pick a job I really wanted to do instead of the military. I am now in school for physical therapy to fix idiots like us and it made me realize that is what makes me happy. I love my classes to do with PT stuff. So trust me it is not the end of the world.

goodluck to a speedy recovery

i broke my ankle with plate in leg around may 30th. i was skiing by december, but i noticed it took me over 20 pairs of boots trying on before I found a pair soft enough and comfortable enough to NOT bother the plate. i had a spiral fracture up my leg. so it was on the outside where most boots rub. Full tilts have that nice wrap around which helps I'm sure you'll be fine by december
