Life is fucking beautiful

I have the craziest story for you guys. On Wednesday I had the gnarliest slam of my entire life- I overshot this jump taking it to flat, with my head and neck taking the majority of the impact. I’ve hit the jump many times before but not on that day yet, real proper step up so I was worried about knuckling, and I miscalculated the speed- it was 47 and sunny but deceivingly fast, and my skis hadn’t been waxed since nov. I never lost consciousness, so after the crash I literally got right back up, clipped back in and skied down. I knew something was seriously wrong so I never ever tried moving it: kept my head and neck completely still. My homie drove me to the hospital while I stabilized my own head between my hands. Checked myself into the ER, they didn’t even think I needed an X-ray bc I was so stable & responsive. Turns out I have a concussion and I broke 3 vertebrae in my neck- my c2 c4 and c5. Every single doctor that I’ve spoken to is stunned that I’m not paralyzed or worse, esp since my c2 fracture is my worst one. I have zero other injuries, and I have zero nerve damage. My helmet also has zero damage to it. Fattest shoutout to giro ledge mips, that shit without a doubt saved my life. Also shoutout to all the healthcare workers out there, when I heard the news I was alone bc no visitors allowed, and my phone was dead so I couldn’t contact anyone. Those nurses held my hand through it all. Gonna sound crazy but right now I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. Fucking stoked on life!!!! Still a lot of unknowns but imma be alright! Feels like I got a second chance. Blessings to everyone out there!!!!! Life is fucking beautiful go enjoy that sunshine!!!

Don’t mean to scare anyone w this story just tryna uplift! Hope everyone has a blessed day and stay safe out there! And for anyone recovering from injuries right now I’m sending healing vibes we got dis!!!!
