Last Post

My passion project, I would think turned out as a success. I did have a huge obsticle throughout the majoraty of the project, With my sprained ankle which was stopping me from actually skating. The last time that I went skating for this project, I really enjoyed myself and I began to remember why I picked skating for my passion project. I picked skating because it is one of my favourite things to do in the winter and I really feel like I can relax and feel good about myself when I am on the rink. I also feel like when it is a nice day and your skating its a really nice way to connect with God. I feel this because while skating I can get close with nature and close with just God and myself. I am happy I picked skating for my passion project, I would have liked to actually work on my stick handling too but I just didn't really have time for that and I never had my stick with me when I needed it. I also would have liked to go skating a little more but that didn't work because I was looking for a job and I just didn't have time or money to do any extra activity. I love skating, and doing this passion project really reminded me how much I love it and how much I miss it when I can't get out there, or don't have time to go skating. I am sad this project is over and that I did not get the chance to go out skating more, I really wish I hadn't sprained my ankle but I can't do anything to change what has already happened. I took some pictures when I went skating the last time. One of my skates, and the other just of me having a good time.

Healing Quick

With my ankle being sprained I have not been able to go out to skate quite yet, I am planning on going out next week Wednesday though. I have been doing lots of exercises to work on my ankle and increase my strength in that area. I have been doing things like calf raises and spelling out the alphabet with my foot in the air. I am able to walk on it, I have been for a couple weeks now. It has been about 4 weeks and a day since I sprained my ankle and I think I might be strong enough to do physical activity on it, I might wear my tensor bandage with it but only so I feel more sturdy on it. Hopefully when I go out on Wednesday I will be able to skate on it for sure, I know I will not be as strong as I was before but getting an early start on getting back on my ankle will be good for me and hopefully it might speed up the process.
