Happy Assiversary!

One month ago, I took the fateful fall and broke my ass. I reread the blog entry that I wrote that night, and I must have had a ton of adrenalin pumping through my system. It's pretty crazy that I got up and skated some more that night.

It's been a hell of a month. I just realized that I'm sitting here with my dog on my lap with one of my legs tucked up under me. I would not have dared sit like this a month ago. I can move and shift around without intense pain. I was afraid to move at all 3 weeks ago.

I am so fortunate to have access to an amazing team of doctors and my physical therapists. I'm recovering at a good clip. I still have some soreness, but I'm hopeful that I'll be skating again later this summer. I'm ready to get myself back in shape and focus on endurance and getting strong again.

I'm starting to learn the lesson. I didn't appreciate and respect my body enough to take care of it for a long time. And nothing makes you appreciate it more than getting it back again.
