What To Do When Grandma Breaks Her Leg!
The year is 1968. The setting is in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado on a chilly and blustery winter’s day. The sun shines brightly from above, casting a strong glare against the virgin snow.
A “young” woman of normal stature, a tinge of blue hair, and around the age of 63 has just swooshed down the beginner slope of this new ski resort. Her first attempt in her life at skiing, Kora had literally danced her way down the mountain, stopping at the bottom, proudly waving her arms above her head, ski poles in each hand, proclaiming her victory to her family who had snapped a series of photographs to capture this historic event. “I have wanted to do this for years!” she happily announced. “Now I can check that off of my list of things to do before I die!” (Note to readers: 41 years later, Kora is still alive and active, finding more things to check off of her list!)
Suddenly, from seemingly out of nowhere, a young man on skis was rapidly approaching Kora from behind. It appeared he was somewhat, if not totally, out of control. Within seconds, and with no warning to Kora, her arms still in the air, the young man slammed into the back of Kora, sending her tumbling to the snowy cushion in front of her.
