科羅拉多州有很多很棒的滑雪場,所以我很小就開始滑雪了。我想那大概是5、6歲的時候,有一次上午的時候,我坐升降椅上去,在第一次滑下來的時候,我是在一個結(jié)了很多冰的區(qū)域上滑的,我滑的速度很快,可是突然我撞到了一塊柔軟的雪,然后我就沖向前面摔倒了,當時我的腿不能動,所以我爸爸讓別人給滑雪巡邏隊打電話,滑雪巡邏隊來了以后把我放在雪橇上,然后他們在雪橇前面滑,一直把我?guī)チ酸t(yī)療診所,那里有滑雪場的醫(yī)生。不過他們并沒有設(shè)備來固定我的腿。
They didn't have the equipment to fix my leg, but they did immobilize my leg, make it so I couldn't move it, so it would be protected while my dad drove me down to the city to take me to a bigger hospital. At the hospital they put my leg in a cast and then they gave me crutches, which I used for about two or three months, so I remember I was in first grade and all of the other students signed my cast, wrote their name on my cast, so it was actually kind of fun in the end.
雖然他們沒有設(shè)備來固定我的腿,但是他們確實為我固定了,那會保護我,而我不能動,之后我爸爸開車帶我去了城市里的大醫(yī)院。醫(yī)院給我的腿打了石膏,給了我拐杖,那個拐杖我大概用了兩三個月,我記得我考到第一名的時候,班里其他的同學(xué)都在我的石膏上簽名,所以最后真的很有樂趣。
