<![CDATA[For most of my adult life, I #rollerskated at least once, often twice a week.]]>For most of my adult life, I at least once, often twice a week. Then in 2019 I broke my hip (not while skating), which had to be replaced; then both parents declined and died; then there was a major (1000 km) move. . . . I haven't skated since. Saturday I'm going to the rink here in with a friend and I cannot wait.

It sounds like you've found a way to keep doing what you like even though you can't do it in quite the same way.

Definitely a great idea to return to the things that you love! I adore canoeing, but I can no longer put a canoe rack on my car. I rely on the local clubs and check to see if there are canoe owners without partners whenever an interesting trip arises.

Not a skiier, though.

I think that folks can keep up activities well into their later years, when they are activities they've maintained. <y problem is that I had long periods away from skiing and skating, in particular, so I can no longer trust my muscle memory for those activities. With skating, you have more control with speed, but I lack confidence to go fast! The local hill gives you a free pass once you're 80!

I'm always in a hurry for some reason, even when there's no need to be.

Stay upright, please! I've gradually been dropping all of the "falling down" sports, since my bones haven't fared so well.

I applaud the recognition you afford your sister's bionicness (bionicity?). I tried to convince my son that my new hip makes me a cyborg, and he just rolled his eyes. Kids are so hard to impress. . . .

Once at work and once when she was feeding the birds or something in the woods. *g*
I haven't skated since one need a key for the roller skates. I'm older. 😉

Even if I fancied it, which I don't, 59 seems a bit late to start with that!
