So I’m sure this makes some of you thrilled, separated shoulder on a green run after blasting down from 12k on lift 9 haha! Flirting & riding don’t mix on the bunny slopes! Y’all can make fun of me all you want, guess I deserve it. No spring time for me!

P.S who are you and how do you know about me? Lol, I’ll be back this summer for some dog walks on the mountains. I’ll take a break from the forum which I’m sure y’all will enjoy.
You and your promises....

But seriously, I don't think anyone here would want to hear about you getting hurt, in the mountains or otherwise. I would rather hear you lost your internet. lol
When you recover, you should just go send Landry line or Cap.
Yeah, Cap, since it fits your username.
What could go wrong?

Met you on Quandary, you told me to hit you in the DM's.
I'm genuinely glad it's not a more serious injury and wish you a speedy recovery. Just pointing out some irony

Thank you, and with all due respect. Trying to stay humble here if possible, but I’ve had hiking partners tell me it’d take 5 years where I’ve gotten in 2 months.
Were they talking about your ability to piss people off on the forums? If so, I agree. You are a natural. =D>

Good morning, yes I suffered acromioclavicular joint separation. Sorry to disappoint [-(
What do you want, sympathy?

Also, I edited my response after you quoted me, would you mind updating that, I think it's much funnier after the edit.

Again, all kidding aside, but if you really are dealing with depression, get some help. Some of us who have lost friends in the mountains have also lost friends to that ailment. Sounds like you're taking a little break from the mountains so now would be a great time to deal with it. Since you've been to the ER and are in the "system," they can probably point you to someone. Would be a very brave thing to do.

I think you can beat all that. You just might need some help. I drank to blacking out pretty much every night for 14 years and smoked for 35 years - as much as two packs a day for a lot of years. No depression (yet). I'm probably the slowest hiker in Colorado, and I don't ski or snowboard at all. If someone like me can tackle those demons, you definitely can too.

Good luck, and take care of that shoulder.
