Going to give one of my loves and passions another try this afternoon. That is to say I am going ice skating again. Some may recall my adventure last February-March, that eventually did not turn out the best.

Fell and broke a Right side rib, which still is tender in certain positions. I have spent many weeks in Physical Therapy working on athletic type balance improvements, and devoted hours and hours at home working on improving these things.

These do not necessarily translate into ice skating. I am not looking to skate like the hockey referee I was for over 30+ years. I just want to be able to feel comfortable and stable doing one of the things I always loved since I was about 5-6 years old.

Will find out soon and as always, Optimism is and always has been one of my best friends. Here's hoping!

If you're doing it anyway, be cautious, be safe, go slow, hold on, and have fun!

Sounds like fun, but be careful!  I love your determination to keep trying despite obstacles!  ❤️

Let us know how it goes!

Good Luck and have fun @hckynut!  Please be careful.

Stay safe, John!

You're so smart to work on your balance. They're usually muscles we don't use enough and get weak.

Get real comfortable and slow at first with it, John. And have a wonderful time! There's no need to act old!

Oh my!

The mom in me can only say be careful.

@hckynut  I wish I could be as brave as you are. I desperately want to go ice skating. I grew up in western New York, and spent a lot of time on the ice, either in rinks or on frozen ponds.  I haven't skated in 40 years.  I hope you have a fun and safe time!
