Life can resume after breast cancer. As a two-time survivor, I can personally attest to this fact. Phil 4:13 states, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. "And I can. Below I share some of my strength-filled journey of breast cancer recovery.
Ever hear a kid whining, "I can not" really meaning it-When asked to do something scary? With something scary?
After the diagnosis I did not want to crashing my own pity party and destroy it, but it was time to get real! Get really angry with God or get real charged up and off my Duff. It was my choice completely.
While I was recovering from my lumpectomy, my husband Jim came to my hospital room with a wrapped present. When I unraveled the glittering paper, a pair of skates was staring at me from the box with hopeful eyelets.
I could not believe it. "What should I do with these?" I whined. "I have drains hanging from my side to suction bulbs hanging from the half-inflated air mattress. This is crazy!"
His retort? "Get with the program."
Yeah, right! He was obviously a big fan of breast cancer recovery.
Have undergone chemotherapy and radiation, I developed a swelling condition called lymphedema in left arm due to surgery and radiation of lymph nodes during arm. After I received treatment for this condition, I decided that my life-threatening disease and swollen arm will not put me down. I practiced in general Use caution when walking, gardening and jogging as a result of my lymphedema, but as time slipped by, I decided to become more adventurous.
After my second encounter with cancer, took our family a rafting trip down a river in Costa Rica. Unlike another raft follow us, headed by a banker from New York City, our family's fifth line hardy souls did not overturn. Our three sons paddled for all they were worth, are concerned about for his mother. A nighttime canopy tour in Costa Rica that capped a memorable trip. As one of the local frog apes I zipped along the cable line from tree to tree in utter darkness.
A year later I found myself river rafting again, this time in a motorized rig down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. The trip was sponsored by a creation ministry to show the devastation caused by the worldwide flood in Noah's days. For me it was the biggest highlight of this adventure rope-climb a slippery rocky slope to show and take a shower in-a beautiful waterfall hidden in a cave. Such a feat was a perfect example of breast cancer Recycling at its best!
I continue to engage in lymphedema exercises, stretching, weightlifting, and within limits. But I do not min arm in the tub and I wear gloves when gardening. No sense to ask for problems. I pay piper for extreme sports, but the exercise is worthwhile psychological lifting for me. I have found in all cases after a heavy workout to swelling of the arm decreases in sea water in low tide if I manage it.
A few years after my recovery from lumpectomy I added a flea market in skates that I had received from Jim at the hospital. But has changed his mind, and at the end "a-ha" moments, I saved them from the stack merchandise. Try them in my driveway and a local park was fun and I'm still skating. I also downhill ski, climb a few hills (Mt. Sinai, for example, on my trip to the Holy Land), do light yard work for my heart's content, hot-tub it, do housework, and so on. I participate in a fitness center three days a week to train. Now when a doctor says I can not do anything I see it as a challenge, to try to prove the doctor wrong.
Trains to breast cancer recovery, leaving the center and, God willing, I will not will miss it.

Inline skating aggressive style?
ok i want to try roller blading with tricks i already know how to brake and balance on roller blades its extremly easy but any way now i want to add on and try tricks so if i wanted to do tricks is there a weight limit because im overweight but not obese im 15 and im like 180 but any why would that effect the skating to much or i cant do it at all.plus is grinding easy because im seeing all of these videos with skating and its looks easy
Whether or not being 180 lbs. will affect you depends on your height also. If you are tall and it is all muscle or balanced out, you will be fine. Even if you are a little on the heavy side, the only thing that it would affect is how high you can jump. Although, through experience and practice you will learn how to optimize your jumping height for getting on to obstacles. Grinding can be easy, once you get the technique. At first it may seem difficult, but its is going to take a lot of practice and repetition before it comes easy and natural. Initially it should be simple, with the basic grinds like soul, mizou, acid, and royale/ farvs, but it’s going to take mastery before you can learn allyoop variations and topside grinds, and eventually you will learn to add 270, 360, and 450 degree spins into them. As for style, it is a product of your experience and technique. Once you perfect the tricks, it will show in the way you do them, whether it looks how you want it or not. But you can continue to adjust them and perfect them.

agressive inline skating
Since 1998, the largest increases in sports participation and viewing have come from the realm of what are dubbed extreme sports. The changes come as generation Y, also known as “echo boomers,” are beginning to take center stage in our culture. Generation Y, an impressive group of over 70 million, is perhaps most well known for its contempt for authority and willingness to take risks. Many companies continue to scramble to understand the implications of marketing and employing echo boomers as this generation begins to reach maturity and enter the workforce.
The common underlying theme within all extreme sports are their potential for danger. For the most part, these sports are solitary activities that allow for some amount of escape from reality and supervision – although there are a few team exceptions. Extreme sports are known for the adrenaline rush that they produce, not only in participation but often also in the act of observation. Those who study the trends understand that extreme sports aren’t simply a fad – they are here to stay.
Paintball – While paintball can be taken to the extreme of individual participation in mass extermination rounds, it is often considered one of the exceptions to the “no team” aspect of extreme sports. Considered by many to be at the tame end of the spectrum, paintball involves simulated battlefield play using paint-filled pellet ammunition. The realism alone is enough to produce an adrenaline rush when playing. Individuals in a paintball match are faced with being hunted and dodging rounds while stalking their prey.
Kiteboarding – Kiteboarding, sometimes also called Kitesurfing – involves a modified surfboard with a large parachute-style sail attached. In 2008 a French kitesurfer became the first person to break the 50 knot per hour barrier and became the world record holder for fastest sailing speed. Kiteboarding usually features extreme speeds and/or gravity defying tricks and stunts performed around wakes. Because of the speeds involved, kiteboarders need to be aware of and follow the general laws of boating. Many popular beaches have banned kitesurfing due to safety concerns and high traffic.
Base Jumping – Base jumping, similar to bungee jumping, involves jumping from fixed objects with the use of a parachute or a wingsuit/parachute combination. The term base is actually an acronym that stands for the different types of fixed objects that one can jump from – building, antenna, span, or earth. Base jumping is frequently referred to as one of the more dangerous extreme sports as small errors can result in fatalities.
Extreme Skating – Extreme skating is also sometimes referred to as aggressive inline skating. Much like skateboarding, extreme skating involves the performance of tricks and aerial stunts. The inline skates used are specially developed to enhance the performance of stunts and tricks. Although aggressive skating was removed from the X-games in 2005, it continues to be a popular street sport.
While these are just a few extreme sports that echo boomers have continued to make popular, you can see from this small sample the common thread of chasing the adrenaline rush. While many extreme sports produce this rush through gravity defying tricks and stunts, not all depend upon the free fall rush. Many extreme sports involve the risk of pain, injury, or even death and ironically hearken back to the dangers involve in sports during the ancient times of Greece and Rome.
