This past weekend was epic for me because it was the first time I performed on the ice since I tore my ACL back in 2010. I can't skate like I could before the injury, but I worked my tail off to do what I can do today and I wanted to share!
I also want to give a shout out to everyone who helped me heal emotionally and physically from my injury.Thank you Dedrick Agee and Jorge Bonnet, my trainers, for never giving up on me and encouraging me to keep pushing myself. Danny Tate, you are the best coach and best friend a girl could ask for. Mom thank you for helping me through my early recovery and for telling me that I will skate again. Sarcastically Delicious (aka boyfriend), couldn't have done it without your love, support, and lectures about the merits of fish oil, glucosamine, and not slacking on my therapy. My cousin Priya, for coming over after the surgery and coaching me through those dreadful leg raises. Rink buddies, you dont' know how happy it made me to rehearse and perform along side you guys again. And to my gal pals (you know who you are) thank you for listening to all my wining and for your love and understanding.
Both numbers below are group numbers. If you have trouble finding me, look for the brown person.
Oh Wow..I saw you better in the second one. =) That is awesome. Congrats on keeping up with what you love!
ReplyDeleteKudos to working back from such a difficult injury!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz and Bane! Hope you both are doing well with writing and life :-)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I'm always amazed by people who can glide like that across ice. Because IT'S ICE!!! The last time I tried ice skating, I got a concussion.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding your way back onto the ice. Such beautiful dancing.
