Healing bruised but from boarding
I have been learining to board this year It is fun, when everything goes right.
I ride regular, and on my 1st lesson, the conditions became really icy and I caught an edge and hit my but real hard. I had a lesson a week later, it partially healed and I hit it a few more times. Then I had a lesson a couple days later, Monday, and I hit it again. So, today, it has started to swell down, but I have a lesson on Saturday, that I don't want to miss. (I'm doing the earn to learn at Snowbasin.) My sister suggested, and I have been taking Arnica, in the gel and pill form.
Is there anything else that I could do between now and Saturday that would elliviate the pain. I can walk and stuff. But, I am just dreading crashing on Sat. I know that it is inevitable as the learning on the boarding is harder than sking. I have crash pads that I will be wearing. They will help.
But any suggestions, woudl be appreciated.
