Autumn Lite

Two weeks in and the knee is rockin! Got the news from the ortho that some crazy shit happened in my knee and I am the luckiest skater ever. No tear, my ACL moved out of the way and sprained in the process, while my two leg bones slammed into one another and bruised the bone, presenting identical symptoms to miniscus/ACL destruction! I'm back in action, but still strength building, but so super happy!
I've had some really nice rides up Island to Campbell River's park and I am in love with it. How fast the bowl is, how esthetically pleasing it is even just to look at! I am getting it back, even though there have been those stumbly, clumsy moments of, holy shit its been awhile! The street section is a kickass loop with lots of variation. So fun - SO FUN!
The area in my achilles that got ruptured is still really sore, and pushing gets really painful. When I can't push any more, I use the bowl and love it, but after 40 minutes my achilles goes limp and weak. Leaves are turning, and there are some rainy days ahead, but I am excited to be able to skate on those sunny, cool days yet to come.
