Friday Family Skate/ Skate Workshop, Times & Dates

I totally agree with you hannah... and not just because i spend most of my time picking myself off the floor. I always believed if you don't fall over everytime you skate then your not trying hard enough!!!

Hi guys,
Hopefully I will be able to join you again at the Friday Jam in the next couple of weeks. My foot is out of the horrendous boot that they gave me, but my ankle is still swollen and weak. But the specialist has said that if I take it easy, I should be able to get back to skating. He reckons it could be another month or so before the swelling goes down . So hopefully see you all again soon.
Ian.

Blimmey I didnt realise it was still that bad its so gutting when you injure yourself especially when its your legs, ankles ect. at least if its your top half you can still skate

well dont push yourself make sure its sorted before you come back you dont want to end up worse off
see you soon

Tell me about it. And there was me saying I would be fine to skate at extreme the next morning lol. It took the hospital nearly 2 weeks to finally confirm that my foot was actually broken. but it is the ankle that is taking soooo long to mend. I still sometimes find that my ankle just gives way without any warning and I am still taking strong painkillers to sleep which isn't good.

thats not good at all, I asume your in plaster? have they given you a date for it to come off? when it does do the gentle exercises they give you altho it may seam pointless they do help oh and i find doing the exercises in a hot bath helps so give it a try if you can

I'm not in plaster now, in fact they gave me what is called a Beckham Boot instead of a plaster as we were moving at the same time (great fun). But that has now come off. I saw the doctor on Thursday and he says that the ankle is slowly getting stronger,but I have also damaged some of the nerves in the ankle, so that my brain doesn't always know where my ankle is anymore which is why I sometimes loose control and my foot goes at a funny angle. Then again, i don't think my brain ever knew what the rest of my body was doing anyway. But he has said that it will slowly get better as time goes on and has topped me up with a load more painkillers (which I'm not that happy with taking for such a long time). But hopefully i will soon be able to try some skates on and see how it goes (nice and slow at first).

defo take it slow you dont wanna make it worse, maybe we should start calling you david

If it was me and I was in Ian's place. Forget the waiting for the hospital taking nearly 2 weeks to finally confirm my injuires. Having a plaster put on, taking pain killer. Nah, I don't need all that. What I would have done is get nurse Hannah to use her magic healings hands massaging and gently rubbing on my legs. And I'll be fine in a few days?!

You wish tony?!?!?!?!

I know im good but im not that good!!!

Don't worry Hannah, you're safe. I wouldn't put Hannah through the experience of having to get near my feet Tony. Especially after an hour or so with skates on .
