She wrote: "Day 2 in Winchester Hospital. Looks like I\'ll be operated on today. They\'re putting a bloody great big pin right through my shin!! No sleep last night, was on enough Morphine to knock the Navy out but still in pain. Note to self: cheap plastic sledges are for sitting in and gently trundling down primary slopes NOT a substitute for a stand up snowboard (sic)."
