If I didn't know better, I'd think my knee was fine. I was OK with a conservative rehab schedule during the summer, but as snow gets closer, the idea that I can't ski till the middle of FEBRUARY is going to drive me crazy!
... Two days back in my routine and it feels fine today.
We were at Sugarbush and most of the lifts were on wind hold. Nothing too challenging was open. An icy Steins Run (icy, not real ice) with a few bimps (baby bumps) near the bottom was about it.
We were there yesterday (Sunday). Drove back in the snowWhat? Which Sugarbush are you at? Great morning and afternoon. Noon was the bad time.
Vitreous hemorrhage in right eye on Jan. 7. Doctor said it would take 2-3 months for the blood on my retina blocking my vision to be absorbed by the body, but after a month (just yesterday) I am nearly back to normal. I only missed 5 days of skiing (I did ski with basically one eye for a few weeks)!

Consider yourselves lucky, the vitreous hemorrhage I had left me with a classic horseshoe retnia tear That was no fun, and TG it didn't detach!Exactly one year ago, I had the same issue/diagnosis. The cloudiness still returns on irregular basis, my Dr. states this may be as good as it gets, but, far better than at the onset of the bleeding. Now, if knee arthritis would only revert back to original status, I would be a very happy camper.

Of course in what seems to be my pattern of late, it happened at the start of a great snow year!!!!!
I haven't been out much due to a perilous condition. W.O.R.K. I could use some home remedies for this.
In all sincerity, I offer my best wishes for a speedy and pain-free recovery to all those with real afflictions.

Oh no, IDK who told you to sleep sitting up please stop torturing yourself - It's one of those things where you just have to wait it out.That has to suck! I do consider myself fortunate. They did an ultrasound on my eye since they couldn't see the retina for the blood - kind of scary for a while. I go back to the opthamologist in a couple weeks. My vision isn't 100% yet, but I can read small print so that is promising. I ski four days a week -- I am holding back a little just because I don't want to go backwards in my healing.
I've been sleeping sitting up for the past month to speed recovery.
I have a thing for riding roller coasters -- don't know if I will need to give that up?? Hope not.

As to riding roller coasters, the only restriction on me while healing was not to ski due to of risk of an impact in a fall etc. I was given no restrictions after it healed.
Been doing follow-ups with the retina surgeon (Wills Eye affiliate), once a year since it happened, IIRC about nine years ago.
I should say “propped up” - doctor said that would help. Been sleeping on the couch with a couple of pillows on the arm rest. I had a lot of blood on the retina and that supposedly helps.
Good to hear your progress! I'm starting my recovery now after a Lateral Malleolus Fracture of my right fibula last Monday. Occurred inside my boot with a forward fall that twisted that ski too aggressively. I felt something give and I'm glad it wasn't the knee. The x-rays gave my right knee a clean bill, and the fracture is about a minor as such a thing can be, but I'm on the shelf for three months. That would put me at the beginning of May, which is still doable at Killington where I have my season pass, but I'm not sure whether that is a wise idea. At least I got my value out of the pass before the accident. I'll go up with wife and friends for a few more visits and be a good sport, but it will be a lot less than my wife expected.
Sounds EXACTLY like my right fibula fracture inside the boot. Happened 12 years ago during a slide on a very icy run at Kirkwood. The Wall.
I was sliding fast and twisted hitting and do not even remember breaking the Fib 2 inches above the ankle. I was lucky to stop in time before woods.
This was my first and only serious injury ever, knock on wood.
Recovery with PT took 4 to 5 months.but included a month delay due to an unrelated problem. I even bought a new car while laid up ! Trish test drove it
and salesman delivered to my house where it set rusting for 2 months.
