First Roller Skating This Year!

I did 23 laps total, and the first 21 were without stopping. Lungs gave out before legs/feet/muscles could.

Last year my record was 20 laps total in a session, with a 5 lap first round.

I was WAY faster, stronger, and had a much bigger & more solid stride this morning, than even the end of last summer.

Holy shit, my cipro nightmare may actually be ending!!

On that front, the right achilles seemed to hold up pretty well. It’s still a bit sore and achy, but it’s definitely no worse than it has been.

The left ankle – sort of on either side of the heel – was tweaking a bit towards the end of the skate, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that.

Hey, I'm Marie!

I skated as a kid, and have been making the long, rough road back as an adult.

This time, I have a husband to drag along with me :)

I started back in early 2019, and ran into dual roadblocks in 2020 - the pandemic, and being severely crippled by FOUR PILLS of Ciprofloxacin - an antibiotic that destroyed most of the tendons in both of my feet.

Oh, and pancreatic cancer. Fun stuff.

I've learned to walk again, and in October 2021, I started back. Again.

Here's where I'll chronicle the whole mess!
