Swiss Ski - Break a leg (January 2014)
A great looking extended ski-weekend in the Swiss mountains with a friend turned into a drama. We enjoyed the slopes, but the third day I had a severe crash hurting my right arm & shoulder and breaking multiple times my right leg. I was moved by the mountain patrol helicopter to the Wallis hospital in Sion. I obtained surgery and stayed for a while in IC, thereafter could move to my room for a week. |
