Roller derby is dead for me

So last night was the first practice....

I went and I was ALL pumped up... We did the first drill of drop drills which is when you skate around and then fall on your knees so you get used to falling and you aren't scared of it... I did it and my incision started hurting... Then we did low drills and it kept right on hurting, when we took our first break I decided it wasn't worth hurting my incision when I was doing so well so I took my skates off and walked out crying... For two years something has kept me from it... I'm not going to try anymore..

No more derby for me gals.... *sniff sniff*

oh I'm so sorry...but you're right you don't want to risk hurting yourself...hang in there...maybe next year??? :)  hugs, Jen

awwwww never give up. just give a little more time for it to heal and you get stronger maybe do some core training and try next year. but you did the right thing. i dont think it would be cool at all to have you back in the hospital. and anyway next year you will be even more drop dead good looking and have a stronger core and just be the boom going out there and whoppin a**.. i hope you hit it big this weekend. and if you do dont forget us widdle ppl. lol luv ya hun be safe vicki

Jess.....you will always be our roller derby queen.  Maybe this year is too soon for you.  It is not worth hurting your incision, this tool is soooooo important to all of us...hugz....DEB

Jess, I am so sorry.  I know how much this meant to you.  The time just isn't now.  Give yourself longer to heal and then go out there and whup 'em!

Hi Jessyca, I know how excited you were about this and I'm sure you are very disappointed, I'm sorry.  I really don't think your body was trying to tell you 'Never' just 'not now'.  Hang in there girl. "Just what makes that little old ant, think he can move that rubber tree plant......................................................................................."  ;)  Gotta have your goals and dreams girl!!!

Jess, Don't give up if this is something you really want.  You are only 3 months post-op!  You had major surgery.  You need to give your body more time to heal.  If this is something you are supposed to do, it will come together when the time is right for you.  In the meantime, work on losing your weight and making your body stronger.
