Okay, so I did plan on writing chapters yesterday. It seemed chance had other things in mind. I took a fall during my ice skating class last night. It wasn’t a graceful, gentle fall. I went over backwards and landed flat on my back. It really knocked the wind out me. And a grown man falling flat on his back…well, as you can imagine, my back didn’t feel great afterwards. I pretty much took a shower, ate something, and went to bed. The good news is that I didn’t crack my head on the ice. The expected news is that my entire back is still sore today, but I think it’s manageable enough that I will try to get out at least one chapter and see how it goes.

Adulting Pro Tip: if you’re thinking you’ll put off learning some highly physical skill until you have more time or money, keep in mind that you bounce back from minor injuries slower and slower as you age.

"keep in mind that you bounce back from minor injuries slower and slower as you age." Ain't that the truth. Pulled a muscle playing soccer with the kids and I could barely walk for a week after. I don't like my 30s...

Sounds like a blooper idea for Sen.

I feel that age comment - I smacked my leg into a table corner and that bruise took weeks to go away.

TLDR; I got hurt hiking didn't recover from minor strain on injury and want Eric to take it carefully and recover fully, Best wishes on a speedy recovery. I was hiking in August 2018, tripped and caused micro tears along my interior patellar ligament. It didn't heal up until June 2020 because my work chair put a little pressure on my knees for "ergonomic" reasons and healing took 6 weeks of staying off it during covid. I've been trying to get back into shape by walking since September of last year, my knee is still not healthy enough to go on a 5 mile walk. Once you get to your 30s take care not to overstrain your self and stretch a lot, it is worse if you never got in great shape in your early 20s. Take your time to get better, your health is important and make sure not to strain yourself.

This is why I’ve taken up the art of fishing in a pond with no fish under a shade tree where the hardest part is cracking open a beverage. Hope you start feeling better soon!

I recently had a hilarious pratfall that left a large bruise on my windpipe and snapped my head back - I thought the last thing I'd ever hear would be the overused movie "crunching celery" noise. Stupid injuries happen. Take your time, get better, and don't read the comments on your fiction posts. We'll still be here when you're OK.

This is the universe telling you to take it easy. You've been having a tough go of it with the comments sections and now you've gotten yourself physically injured. I recommend the Newfoundland cure for everything. 1) get a wool sock and an unopened bottle of scotch. 2) strip and drink scotch until there are two socks. 3) put on both socks and go to bed. 4) wake up, realize you should have included water in step 1, fall asleep again angry. Follow this prescription and be well.

Yeah I've noticed that falling gracefully is no longer an option once you near 30

I read that as isekai skating adventure so it could have been worse .
