Here's a unique new pool, and it's not March madness: How much will the medical bills total for my skiing accident?
(Total billed to the insurance company by medical providers: not my out of pocket. And, no, I don't know the total yet either. I only have the bills up to the point before I got on the helo and the number is $41K so far.)
Submit your number now via email, linkedin, or FB!
Winner gets a Starbucks card! (I know, that's cheap... I have some bills to pay! lol Thankfully, those are limited by "out of pocket".)
I think we'll all be shocked at this number, whatever it ends up being, but we should all appreciate having health insurance and great health care!

Recovery is humbling and grounding experience. Life is good.
I am doing much better than just a week ago, and so much better than 18 days ago. I know I'm getting used to the pain and how to move my body in order to minimize it, but I really am getting better.
Actually worked out today and felt good. 30 minutes of solid cardio at 9200' elevation and a good lower body lift.
Sleeping is still a challenge, but i won't be complaining about anything.
Yesterday I visited my first trauma hospital (the one in the mountains) to pick up all my ski gear.... eery. Took this picture of the flight for life chopper;
not the exact one I flew in (mine was larger so the trauma surgeon and nurse could go with me) but it sits in the exact spot I took off from. I don't remember being there at that hospital that day, but those awesome folks assured me I was there and told me again I shouldn't be walking, and maybe shouldn't be alive. I am one grateful dude.
Ventured to Peak 7 and from afar saw the spot where I crashed. Humbling. The knot in my stomach was indescribable. Was a deeply emotional and quite grounding experience.
Like I said, I am so grateful to have survived and to be recovering quickly.
Life is a gift, meant to be enjoyed, pursued, and shared.
I am grateful to share my experiences.... my life..... with all of you!
