Julie's Broken Leg

Julie at the hospital near the ski resort. She was in a lot of pain, but I convinced her to smile for the camera.

This is the 'splint' they put on at the ski resort.

Julie at the hospital closer to home22, once they finally got a more professional looking splint on her leg. They also finally got her some good pain meds, so this smile isn't quite as forced.

The original splint once they had gotten it off of her. You can see that yes, it's just cardboard and bubblewrap. The doctors at the first hospital actually sounded impressed. He said it was the best cardboard splint he'd ever seen, so he decided to just leave it on.

A closeup of Julie's right arm. When she came off the slope, they were trying to put an IV in, or take blood or something, and they couldn't seem to find a vein. I guess lying in the snow for 30 minutes while waiting for the toboggan to take you down the mountain, makes all your veins go into hiding. After digging around for a bit, they gave up and used the other arm. This is what they left behind
