My wife broke her hand/wrist

My wife is new to snowboarding this year, but LOVES it. She is learning and progressing. Last weekend we went up to Killington and got her up onto the lift first thing (Ramshead) and we made it down pretty clean 1st run. Conditions were good and we were having a blast. Headed back up on the lift again and as she was working her way down, she caught a heel edge and slammed back onto her ass/back with her arm outstretched to catch herself. I was behind her messing around carving, so I thought she hurt her ass/back/head, but immediately she was complaining about her wrist. After some agony, she got herself back up and made her way down to the bottom of the trail. She headed into the lodge and iced her wrist while I went and did a run, but she thought it was broken, so I came right down and brought her to First Aid. It was nice that First Aid was right next to the lodge. And even better when we only had to go right upstairs for an X-Ray.



Scaphoid fracture.:facepalm2:



Made me look stupid for telling her it was probably just sprained or badly bruised when she fell. She's bummed that her season is over and is in a cast 2-4 months. Went to the hand specialist Monday who told her she has to come back next month and then they'll decide if she needs surgery to put in a screw. She's already excited to get back out boarding, but with it being April, even if everything goes perfectly there might not be enough time this season.



I can't help but to feel bad since I got her into this. But, accidents happen.
