Re: Skiing, Gardening and CMT

<< I have no balance and my legs aren't strong enough to hold me if my knees

are bent. YOU HAVE TO BEND YOUR KNEES IF YOU SKI! (At least I think you do,

LOL). >>

Ah hah! Now I know why I hated skiing. I have a photo of me skiing, and I'm

standing quite straight. I could snowplow (straight-legged with skies in a

V), but I could never make turns with my legs closer together and straight!

Schuss. LOL

The other thing one needs to be able to do is get up without anything to

help! I made sure I didn't fall so I wouldn't have to struggle to get up

again. I spent every weekend for 4 winters learning I couldn't ski well! My

friends thought I was quite odd on the slopes, but they were never unkind

about it. This was back when even people without much money could afford to

ski. I think it's different now. Obviously, my feet were not frozen back in

those days. *

Saturday I spent about half an hour pulling weeds in a 15 inch high bed. Now

I can barely walk, my thighs hurt so much and are so weak today! LOL I'll

never learn.

By the way, I was only on a bicycle once in my life so I don't know if I

could have done ridden very well or not. Probably not, I couldn't ice skate,

but was pretty good with rollerskates - the old key kind.
