Hey, my names Joey Spencer. Back in January I received my first serious concussion back at my home mountain- Apex. I was required to be airlifted from the mountain to Kelowna General Hospital. For about a week I had no idea what was going on. Slowly I began to recover and about 2 months later I finished my winter off strong at Whistler BC. It was a big roadblock because the doctor told me, three serious concussions and I should stop skiing.
I moved to Whistler BC this season as I recently graduated. I live with a homie and my filmer ( Making It Productions, skistep.tumblr.com ). The season was off to a great start. I teamed up with Line skis and was rollin at a good pace. 9 days ago I was trying a front switch up 450 out and ended up doing the switch up and while spinning out I landed at 360 caught my downhill edge and fell straight onto the left side of my head. For about 5 seconds all I saw was white and my whole body vibrated. This is concussion number 2. My healing progress is going decent. I still get random headaches.
I saw a doctor yesterday and she told me to stop skiing. It was a big shock to me. I have really thought it over, and I am going home to see a specialist and my personal doctor to figure out the best thing for me. But I will ski again, maybe not tomorrow, a week, a few months, but I will come back stronger then ever. I will keep posted with my progress in my recovery. MUCH LOVE.
Joey.
