ALWAYS wear gloves when on the ice for a general session.  A fella that I was skating with fell and someone went over his fingers with hockey skates - different blade to figure skates - and he lost the tops of his fingers! :rolleyes:

>"well your 46yr old and want to go ICE SKATING...

Don't let him put you off.  I'm 48 and went skiing for the first time ever recently.  I took lots of tumbles but was lucky not to hurt anything but pride (probably the extra "padding" I carry these days).  The one thing I insisted on was doing things at my own pace which meant I was slower than others and this is where your friend made a mistake trying to make you go faster.

I hope you make a speedy recovery and are back on the ice asap, it's great fun. :)

Hope you are feeling a better today, keep having a good soak in the bath with radox,rest and excercise is the key.

Sheila,
