concussion

Went to Hidden Valley Ski Resort in Stl with Chris and Ross from Staples from 6pm-2am last night. Snowboarding was awesome! I had a few great runs but fell a lot! And then at about 1am I was going too fast (slowing down is a problem so far) and got thrown off and flipped. Feet went over my head and my head hit the ground. The good news: my hat survived. Not so good news: I got a slight concussion and my neck hurts like a bitch today. The crash was beside the lift so I got a bunch of "ooohhh's and aaaah's" from those headed back up the hill.
Then after the incident we went inside for a little while and I had a long island. Then rode the kiddie slope for a little while and one final trip down a big hill and back to the lodge.
Chris pulled over 3 times on the way back to CoMo so I could throw up and as soon as I got out of his jeep at home I did it some more as my abs and ankle muscles were locking up....and its real uncomfortable to throw up when your abs are locking up!

Can't wait to do it again!! (snowboarding...not concussion or throwing up)

you got a concussion and then had some alcohol!? what the!?!? there's just something about you out there on the snow, whether it be on skis or on snowboards...
am really glad you're safe.
