Thank you all for the well wishes. I had my first lesson with my coach yesterday and skated for about 1.5 hours. We out together about 20 seconds of my routine so I can't wait to see what the rest will be.
I going skating again on Wed., Friday, and Sunday...lot's of practice :).
Kim60, I am sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she get's better soon and can get back out there.
That's awesome Kim I am so happy for you keep it up!! Good luck with your competitions
It's just nice to hear that you even feel up to trying something like that. Good Luck! And have fun - be careful though, ice is hard on the old skull.
GOOD for you.. you DO give us all hope. Sometimes I think, is this it?? Is this how I'm going to live the rest of my life, not knowing how I'm going to feel from one day to another?? I am so use to getting up out of bed and being so active without even thinking about it. Now I think I'm going to pay later if I stress out my body in ANY way.
thank you for posting. One of my best friends skates/skated for a Massachusetts skate team and I know how important competition is to "skaters." Unfortunately she blew out her knee and was supposed to go to Paris.. but may not go now. Good luck with everything and be careful!

I really hope everyone on here can find something they love and that they can do it for as long as possible.
Kim...this gives all those in eaarly stages of recovery alot of hope!!
Thanks all! I really am excited. This means a lot to me since after surgery I didn't think I would be able to come back. Six months after surgery I went skating and could only skate for 10 minutes before getting tired and not feeling well. Now 10 months after surgery I can skate more. I still feel sick sometimes, but not while skating, lol. I think it's a good distraction for me.
You GO GIRL!!!!
Good luck....it would be awesome to see a video!
