Replying to Ruptured my spleen...

So here's my story. Also looking for feedback, opinions, experiences, etc.

Last week I was out with my buddy enjoying what felt like to be the first of spring riding conditions. Naturally what this meant was that because of the lack of powder, more time would be spent in the park.

So we hit up the park and things were going great until I decide I want to try a 720 off this one Large jump. So I go for it, and realize mid air that I don't have enough speed to clear it, but not having much of an option at this point I keep my rotation on lock in hopes to at least land 7 to case and ride away...big mistake.

My skis came in contact with the ground at 630° at which point the rest of my body slammed into the knuckle of the jump, consequently rupturing my spleen. Feeling like shit but not knowing the extent of the damage I had done to myself, I kept skiing in hopes of the pain to go away. After a few more laps through the park and no sign of improvement, we decided to call it.

At first i thought i may have broken a rib or just bruised some internal organ, but after almost passing out on the drive home, we decided to hitup the ER. 3hrs of waiting later and almost passing out another few times, they determined i had lost about 2 litres of blood through internal bleeding. They rushed me off for major surgery and here I am now 1 week later, done for the season and with a gnarly scar on my chest.

So has anyone ever injured or ruptured their spleen? How would you say it affects you today? and is there anything you think I should know? Any feedback, opinions and experiences are welcome! I could also post a pic of the scar for you guys to see if you want haha.
