I haven't been skating in well over 30 years, although I too took figure skating lessons and practically lived at the rink when I was a kid. And although knee & elbow pads and helmets were unheard of back then, you can bet that if I ever did venture out on the ice again now, I would be padded to the hilt. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-49450389708294294262017-02-22T11:27:59.886-08:002017-02-22T11:27:59.886-08:00Truly a fitting metaphor for infertility and many ...Truly a fitting metaphor for infertility and many things in life.

I found speed skates really awkward and will be sticking to my figure skates. Haven't skated in quite a while but AJ is noticing hockey now. Hmmmmm. Heal quickly.

I forgot how much ice skating works the ankles. It's why I miss the old skates, because I felt they offered SO much more ankle support. Ah, well. Getting older really does suck! I do want to go skating again though. Maybe that's the start of dementia, har har.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-67112835897418319312017-02-20T10:08:20.264-08:002017-02-20T10:08:20.264-08:00It's a pretty good metaphor, no?

Had my own tumble on some black ice in the driveway yesterday (had a lucky landing half in a big snow bank, so mostly just sore all over today) and immediately looked at the neighbor's house to see if anyone was outside/witnessing my lack of grace. Glad to hear there wasn't any major damage to your elbow, and especially appreciate your mantra of smiling through the tumbles.
