Whattup NS,
Recently I took a little slam and ended up lacerating my spleen and liver. Fortunately neither had to be removed surgically. Two weeks later I'm walking around feeling pretty good with no meds. I've seen three doctors, one said when I'm ready, one said 6 weeks and one said three months. I can't seem to get a consistent answer for recovery time so I was just wondering how long it took you guys to get back on the hill? I'll follow doctors orders but for my mental sanity I'm trying to find some opinions from fellow skiers. Cheers!

I lacerated my spleen when I was 18. Worst pain of my life. I was in the hospital for almost a week and then didn't do any hard activity for 3 months. I didn't want to go through that again.... Best to keep it safe.
All times are Eastern (-5)
