Off Skates Sucks or My Parents are SUPREME!!

Now that I know that my skates are all kaddiwompus I have been off wheels for 83 hours and counting. I am going crazy not to mention I HURT! The thing about skating, or whatever kind of exercising you feel comfortable with, is that it helps release those happy chemicals so I don't hurt as much. However on an off day I get pretty dang sore, mostly in my legs. But with 3 going on 4 days now I want to tear my limbs off. I have had to take Vicodin which I usually try to avoid and I am smoking twice as much. YUCK! All this doesn't help my mood so I am sure my family is feeling the pain too.

There are 2 ways to solve this problem.

A: Remount the plates. This would be the cheaper option however it is possible the boots may be stretched and damaged from wearing them wrong so much and still cause me problems. I have already completely worn my insoles out.

B: Get new skates. This is great but you have to be able to shell out a few hundred bucks.

I am able to go for option B because my super awesome parents have offered to pay for them. My family is not exactly rolling in dough so this is an extremely grand gesture. My Mom said it is just something I have to have. A medical expense for how much it helps my Fibromyalgia not to mention keeps me sane. WOW!! I know they won't make me pay them back but I want to anyway, even if it is just buying the groceries for the next 6 months.

It is going to be a while before I get to slip on my new skates. I have to order them online so I will still have to wait a few weeks before I can skate again. I am considering skating a little or I might just lose it all together but I don't to hurt myself. Choices choices.

Sincerely,
The Incredible FALK!!!!

  1. Groceries will be great - SMOOCH!
    On another subject. i'm feeling like the word "disabled" in your title is off-putting and does not describe you at all! You are anything BUT disabled. would you consider a modification?
