testing

What are you testing in? Dance, etc? My husband and I are skaters. He has parkinsons and next monday he's going on the ice the first time in 2 years. He used to compete. I intend to start back if this surgery ever happens. Fiona

I was an adult skater, started at 50 years old and did do some precision competitions but kept falling on my head. I am a speech patologist and know what repeated concussions can do so I, heartbroken, quit. Then, sad to say, I gained 80 pounds. I had WLS August 25th this year and am doing great. Lost 30# so far and feel wonderful. Being 67 I think that is a pretty great thing. I work with stroke survivors and people with parkinsons at a local college doing a communication class. Congratulations on your husband's return to the ice. I think my skating days are over but I love to watch it and got to know Brian Boitano as he skated at my rink in San Francisco. He is a great guy. Good luck to you on your surgery journey. Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

I skated for a little while as a kid, then went back to it when I was 15. I love it. I haven't had the time for it the last couple years, with university, but I hope I can go back to it. I tested in dance (I have my junior bronze dance) and in skills (prelim)... I'm hoping that if I have surgery and lose the weignt I will finally be able to do the free skate stuff I always wanted to be able to do... #1 Finally land my first axel!
