     @vk2gpu Heal soon. One thing I've learned as a derby ref is that the Injury Grim Reaper comes for us all eventually. I just hope it's gentle to me when it's my turn.

     @vk2gpu One of the first times I put my skates on, I took them to an outdoor skate park to get used to them. I accidentally stood on an acorn, skate slipped out from under me, and I tore two ankle ligaments. No surgery, but 3 months of PT, and chronic tendinitis that flares up if I skate backwards too much. I'm praying that was my visit from the injury reaper.

     @roadriverrail @vk2gpu I had a similar severe-pull-but-not-break situation on my ankle from a motorcycle almost-accident (didn’t actually go down, but did twist my foot around 180deg). Doc told me he almost wish it had broken; they have ways to fix breaks, but pulled tendons and ligaments just need to heal on their own, and never quite heal fully.

     That was 15 years ago. It’s pretty much healed at this point. At least, it’s no longer the dominant problem. 🤣🥲😢😭

     @smitty @vk2gpu It's actually good to hear I'm not alone with that. It hasn't been a real problem, but I do get a flare-up if I skate backwards too much. Did I mention I specialize at the ref position where you skate backwards almost exclusively?
