It’s soooo hot (65F plus humid). I’m the sweatiest MFer alive.

I found the edge of the earth.

Where are we?

We like skiing.

Tuned up our skis and now enjoying Snowbird.

Beautiful day

The past 2 days have been some of the best days skiing I’ve ever had. Deep powder with my boys. Jumping off rocks, bumps, and anything else. Fresh tracks all day. Love it.

Lovely evening

Maybe it was the open bar, but I felt like my dancing at my niece’s bat mitvah was incredible last night. *maybe = definitely

What a terrible day to be literate.

Wow neat another study showing PRP doesn’t work. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39804899/

My PA and I bombed down this untouched run 10 times today. He’s walking uphill to gather his ski after a high speed/soft landing crash.

Had a good day at big sky until I skied over a rock field sneakily covered with 4 inches of snow, damaged my ski, broke my boot, somehow hucked my ski pole off a cliff…and ripped my pants. Can’t win em all! I’m all good for tomorrow.

Ohhh…

157K the past 6 days and a slightly tweaked MCL makes today a good rest/travel day. I’ll be back crushing tomorrow in Big Sky. ⛷️ 🎉

Look at my little tiny lady skiing the Rendezvous bowl. She gets better all the time.

I skied a lot again. One more day in Jackson then off to Big Sky for “CME.”

$15 chili at ski resorts is not unusual, but this child size container ain’t cutting it.

Big day skiing hard things. Didn’t mean to do 34K of vertical but I was having too much fun to stop. Then we found a troll sculpture.

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

My friend took HS senior son to a place offering contralateral graft ACL surgery for faster return than offered by other surgeons. He returned to play HS basketball LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS after surgery. Re-ruptured first game back. That poor kid.

This was a nice day. Off to Jackson and Big Sky this week for a vacation! 😁

Here we go!

Skiing with little legos. Unclear why Yardsale is carrying a block of snow.

I really thought the “don’t put empty cereal boxes back on the shelf” phase of parenting would go by faster.

Sooo $583 a night x 2 nights = $2256 due largely to a $827 “host fee.” These people have lost touch with reality.

Yardsale! Didn’t quite have the speed or height for that 360.

First day skiing with my boys this season.

Touch of snow coming down. Check out that lift line at the end. Don’t visit here. It’s terrible. 😏 @stevemchale.bsky.social @traumaticum.bsky.social @orthomdmd.bsky.social

Wondering what to do with my 240th consecutive friday off work.

The ankle was easier to fix than my poor skis, which are now DNR. 🪦

“Return patient new problem” 100 pages of records. 2 MRIs, 3 nerve studies, 2 ultrasounds, 2 X-rays. 15 minute visit: ready, set, holy fuck this is impossible.

This season has escalated quickly. Getting more vertical in earlier than usual to be in shape for Jackson and Big Sky (CME!)in a few weeks. ⛷️ Despite her using the word “fibia” yesterday, we have decided to work through it. @fixnbones.bsky.social @stresshoop.bsky.social @orthomdmd.bsky.social

I thought she was the one, but we have to break up now right? Fibia? @rkhmd.com @stresshoop.bsky.social @nuge.bsky.social @mementomorty.bsky.social @fixnbones.bsky.social @orthomdmd.bsky.social

I’ve never had a bad day on skis.

So we’re not letting the ACC in next year, right? @fixnbones.bsky.social @rkhmd.com @orthoinatlanta.bsky.social #cfp

Getting my new espresso machine dialed in. 😋

Your friendly neighborhood ortho reminding everyone that arthritis has a significant genetic component. It’s not the concrete floors. These X-rays of fraternal twins shows a remarkably similar disease pattern.

Today was fun. Newly opened EX/double black terrain with thin snow coverage. Watch out for rocks!

Not surprising. This is and has been UHC’s business model. Until the government provides meaningful oversight- and a mechanism of enforcement with actual teeth- of these greedy bastards, it will continue.

This didn’t look repairable at first. The apex of the tear was at the glenoid, but with a little mobilization and margin convergence, it came down nicely. #orthosky @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social @randymcohn.bsky.social @shouldergeek.bsky.social

Deep down, I think Bones dog knows bringing in entire extremities is a no no.

I DID NOT expect this to end at a McDonalds in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

This is tasty…and not as hot as you might think. @rkhmd.com @fixnbones.bsky.social @nawashi3332.bsky.social

Happy place! Please send snow.

Day 2 in the books. Need snow.

Why are people so angry with insurance companies? This hip replacement was denied by UHC as a “pre-existing condition.” He was never seen for his hip prior to me, so they just lied, also the ACA banned pre-existing condition denials. Appeal filed and also denied. Countless stories like this.

The idea was absurd and not based on anything other than greed Surgeons are paid for the procedure’s CPT code, regardless of time/difficulty. Example: A complex 3 hour, 3 tendon rotator cuff repair pays the same as 1 stitch in 10 minutes. We WANT to be efficient. apnews.com/article/anth...

Nice to live where I can do both of these in the same day.
