i'm new to this site, and relatively new to the mountaineering aspect of outdoor activities. i broke my ankle just over a month ago on something as basic as snowshoeing up to camp muir (lost my footing above pebble creek and slid awhile when i couldn't arrest w/ my trekking poles until my snowshoe finally caught and cranked my ankle). i appreciate your final section on what you're going through mentally since your accident since i've been having similar thoughts. i hope for a quick recovery for you (and me) both physically and mentally so you can get back after it...
