I don’t think people really understand what it means when you’re a skateboarder. There’s this condescending tone in people’s voices when they learn about your “hobby.” But being a skateboarder is so much more than just riding a deck with four wheels, it’s also about taking the bad with the good. That awesome feeling of rolling away from a trick is often quieted by those really hard falls that lay you out and immobilize you for weeks on end. I understand the rationale in a speedy recovery though. The thinking that dictates you just walk it off and try to get back to your everyday routine like nothing ever happened. However, I’ve recently learned that in doing so, you run the risk of chronic pain in the joint you initially injured. According to Kaiser doctors and interns, you need to let it heal before you get back to 100% normal.
This happened to me recently. That’s why I have time to type and re-organize myself and my thoughts.
