skate recovery

5 October 1994

Instead of a wild and crazy skating adventure, I will describe (briefly) the latest news on my recovery. My head has stopped hurting, my ear has stopped ringing, and I might have the tiniest bit of my sense of smell back. However, my back is still really hurt. I went to my chiropractor and she popped my back. (they call it "aligning." I call it pain.) But, in fact, after the pain, my back did actually feel a little bit better. A little bit. I talked to her (the doctor) at some length and she told me the following wonderful news. I will have a complete complete recovery. I will be able to play frisbee again. I'll be able to skate again, and I'll be able to do gymnastics again. I was so very entirely pleased when she told me that. However, unfortunately, she estimated complete recovery will take between 9 months to 2 years. Sigh. But I am highly pleased that I will be better again. So that's it. Hopefully from here it's just a continual, although slow, process to recovery.

Have fun
Wear a helmet when you skate
