Two years ago, a different anniversary

Tonight I enjoyed a night of practice at the rink. Two years ago, when I was about 2 & 1/2 months out, I started ice skating again. Tomorrow and Saturday, I am competing again in a national, recreational competition in Burbank and Pasadena. I never thought that when I started down the path to my VSG that I would end up re-learning to skate. I also never thought that competing would even be possible at my age. I am grateful for my VSG, and the ISI (recreational league) for helping me enjoy my new normal. Depending on how it goes, I may post a photo after the competition is finished.

The amount of alcohol consumed the night before didn't bode well for going around in a circle on skates...

Totally awesome!  Congratulations - discovering your "inner athlete" is a great motivator to keep up the exercise!
