It's not how I wanted to start - or end - my ski week. And I'm trying to get past the anger.
Who leaves the person they've just smashed into from behind and knocked out unconscious and convulsing on the ski slope? But it happened, and it happened to me. I woke up twenty feet to the left (not downhill) from where I'd been stopped, strapped to a board, my helmet skis and gloves off. I'm not sure who was more surprised, the ski patrol that I was awake or me that I'd been passed out for fifteen minutes.
All will be well. Crashing headaches but no permanent physical damage. But my faith in the human race has been bent beyond repair.
Oh, and I need a new helmet; mine is caved in. If you ski with a helmet, good for you. If you don't, get one. It could save your life. It just saved mine.

Your recovery will be complete because you had the best of care and you are doing absolutely the right thing for a concussion: REST. This too will pass.
