-Leila- Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Mum wants to take me ice skating but I’m scared of getting hurt. Previously I’ve hurt myself by accident my ankle went inwards. But she won’t take no for an answer. Plus how can I I have a feeding tube fitted what if I fell over. She doesn’t understand what do I do MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewdrop Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Hmm. If this was me, I would tell my mom about the falling over concern and the feeding tube concern, but not the fear of getting hurt. At least, if she's insistent that you go, I wouldn't mention the fear in order to sound more logical, instead of avoiding. When are you going? If it is not soon, you have time to plead your case. Maybe you could offer a compromise, like your mom going ice skating while you watch, or ice skating for only a little bit, or doing something else that your mom enjoys. I can understand the ankle thing. My ankles are extremely weak because I have hyperflexible joints and Achilles tendonitis. My physical therapist isn't 100% comfortable with me doing dance classes, but I enjoy dancing. My mom and I came up with a compromise: If I've spent a day doing a lot of walking, or jumping, or anything that makes my ankles hurt, I can skip dance that night and instead do some stretches at home. I don't know, however, if this kind of solution will work for you. What are your mom's reasons for wanting you to go? Whatever happens, I am here for you, as well as probably the whole DTL community. Things will work out, it will be okay. Hugs! MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say just skate for a little bit and then watch, or just watch the whole time if your mom will let you. Best of luck, hope it goes all right.

Dewdrop Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Hi Lulu, how'd it go? I was thinking of you last night. It doesn't sound like the trip went great, unfortunately. Did you end up skating? You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to though. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
