Today I extended my French vocabulary. I learnt a new word. Trochin
Not the most obvious, or possibly most useful for everyday chat.
A week after my snowfall saw me visiting the centre medical and 4 x-rays later we learn our new word.
A fracture – lesser tuberosity of the humerus, to give it it’s full title
So no more 1 armed skiing for me. For little while anyway. I need to think of a plan B.
One of these sitting in the sun with Mt Blanc in the foreground will do just nicely thank you.
Cheers! My glass is half full !

Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear that you have fractured yourself, Claire. If you have any trouble, see if you can get a hold of a bone stimulator: I found using one helpful when I had Jones’ fractures (a fracture of the fifth metatarsal, named for one Dr. Jones who fractured his foot dancing barefoot around a May pole).
Hi there, it will eventually mend so I just need to be a good girl and rest for a weeks.
I have previously fractured a metatarsal, nasty! I’ve never heard of a bone stimulator, I’ll have to go and have a look. Thank you 🙂
I knew you were being cavalier! Did I not say Be Careful! The glass half full sounds like the perfect answer. Then a book and some light cooking! Poor you how boring to be stuck with a fracture out there in snow paradise! ah well.. c
Snow paradise sums it up! Trying to be a good girl and not SULK !! One measly fall. Humph!
Oh dear, or tant pis, as they say! So sorry to hear abou this, but take it easy and you´ll soon be back out there slaloming and doing whatever it is skiers do! Keep that glass topped up 🙂
Ah qui tant pis. A good cofee on the go at the moment, sun is on my back, and painkillers are beconing 🙂
So sorry to hear that things are a bit worse off than we all had hoped, Lefty. I hope it is a relatively minor fracture, allowing you to quickly return, pain-free, to the slopes. In the meantime, why not switch to a beverage that’s a bit more spirited? You certainly deserve it!
thank you John. Lefty, that’s me! Trying to type one handed is another learning curve!! Maybe a glass of dry white will lubricate the joints and fingers 🙂
Sorry to hear about your injury though I’m glad it was a minor one. I’ve always believed that snow is something best experienced through a window with a cup or mug of something hot in your hand. 🙂
Thankyou, and I love the thought of you watching the snow, all nice and warm inside. That makes 2 of us!
Nooooooo! I’m so sad for you. Heal quickly!
Stacey
I hope so too! Hipefully I’ll be back on the slopes in March. Wheeeeeee, whizzzz. But no Aarrrggghhhhs!
Bad luck!!! Hope it won’t take too long before you can hit the slopes again. Still, sitting with a bear in the winter snow where you are can’t be all bad 😉
Luck of the draw. My only fall this season (: Encore demi pression!
Claire…so, so sorry to hear that your accident was more serious than previously thought. Please rest and let your mountain man take care of you. Wishes for a speedy recovering.
Thank you Karen, I’m pretty useless in the kichen at the moment, I need to work out what I can and can’t do. Patience and help will be the order of the day 🙂
Oh no! Gosh, please do take care and heal quickly.
Thank you. Now I have plenty of time on my hands to plan the garden 🙂
Gracious! Such violence on the slope. Here’s to swift healing and no repeats. So make sure you stay safely *off* of the slippery, icy stuff whilst quaffing the above-pictured medicine, and see that you work on gradually making each golden beaker less and less than half full over the recuperative period . . . 🙂
The slopes can be pretty unforgiving! and I’ll take your medicinal advice to heart 🙂 Slurp, slurp, ahhhhh….. 🙂
Oh NO, you poor dear! Sorry things are a bit more serious than anticipated. Cheers to your glass half full! Love that!
🙂 Mandy
I know! I was feeling pretty grumpy when I wrote this post, its such a disappointment. But luckily it’s not too serious and I’ll get back on my ski’s in March, and in the meantime will sit back and enjoy the view 🙂
I am sorry to hear this, I wish you to get well soon dear Claire, Blessing and Happiness, with my love, nia
Ooowww,not the preferred method for improving your French! Hope you mend quickly–perhaps a nice hot beverage will help!
No it wasn’t! But it’s not a serious fracture and will mend, so I just have to be PATIENT! Not easy 🙂 But yes, maybe a vin chaud would help…..
