June 2010
After breaking my ankle in December I returned to Michigan and got back on the ice in early March. The first few weeks were very painful and I could only skate about an hour a week. Joe and I kept a positive attitude and did as much as we could off the ice during this time. It was very hard at points as the range of motion and strength in my ankle was very limited.
However, after rigorous physical therapy, four months later Joe and I are back into full training and my ankle is doing great. We are both so grateful about the recovery are more motivated then ever. We are determined to come back stronger then before, and like past injuries, surviving this one has just brought us closer.
Joe and I are very excited about our new lifts, as well as our programs. Our first competition will be the Indy Challenge which is at the end of July, and we are both working hard to make sure we put out two good programs.
