help. I need to hear from anyone who wanted to get back on the ice and did it, but found themselves terrified when actually back out there. I just got my skates sharpened and went back out on the ice after 7 years off. I used to have a lovely spiral, but can only skate 2 footed now. I don't have the secure, fabulous feeling I used to have. I'm 53, been through spinal fusion and am 50 pounds overweight, but I think the real kicker is the 7 years away from the ice. Anyone have any encouragement for this experience? I can't let it end here. I need the ice in my life. I'm just going to have to take it super slow and pray that I can get comfortable again. p.s. I wasn't expecting to get everything back on the first session, but damn I wanted to be able to do more than just swizzles!
