Pain Vs. Pragmatism

I managed to get off work a little early and zip over to Valley to skate the tail-end of the public session. Got there about 5. This was my first time on the ice since my fall, and I felt like those pictures of newborn deer trying to walk. Eeep! My leg and ankle still are painful (even after all this time, sheesh), so I only stayed half an hour. I just wanted to get my legs under me in prep for my lesson tomorrow. Depending on how things go I may have to stay off the ice a bit longer. Sheesh. And the ice was horrible, of course.
