Superwoman Sally back from brink Sally Francklyn stood high on Cody Peak in Wyoming, a lifelong skier at the top of her game, living the dream in her version of paradise, Jackson Hole. She clicked into her skis and dropped into a strip of rock-lined snow outside the ski area, so steep theres little margin of error if things go wrong. Things went wrong. She fell and slid nearly 900 feet. I had a broken ankle, a broken back, a broken neck, a broken helmet, a broken skull . . . and I think thats it, recalled Francklyn, 18 months later at her parents house in Colorado Springs, Colo. The bones have healed, but Francklyn knows she will never be the same. The rocks that stopped her plunge and shattered her helmet also left her with a traumatic brain injury and accompanying symptoms that likely will be with her the rest of her life.
