Locking forward to the future

Hi everyone, training is going slowly better. I am on ice 1-2 times a week. This will be a long process to prepare for next seasons. I will hopefully be able to skate later in the season some smaller competitions. But right now I am focusing on being able to train normal hours per week and right now it is small steps towards that goal. I am not in a hurry to train a lot. I see that in the gym I am getting strong quicker than I have planed, which is good news. It is on the ice it takes longer time to be able to do a complete training practice. By slowly getting back, I will be able to stay away from injuries that can appear if I try to get back in training too fast.

When I see this picture above, I think about three things...

First, I miss being that strong on the ice and feeling the fun of training and competition.

Second, I want to come back in shape and skate stronger than I did in this picture.

Third, I get 100% motivated to see my self concentrated.

FINALLY!

I have not written on the blog for 1,5 month, but now I have a possibility to tell some good news.

I have finally found a physiotherapist who is well known and expert on the kind of injury that I have had.

It has been an inflammation in both outside calves. I have felt sore day and night for a long time and the reason for that is an inflammation.

The muscles have been overused and when the calves are overused the body wants to compensate with other muscles. After that the calves are not function properly and you can get an inflammation.

I start slowly my rehabilitation next week and I am really looking forward to train again and soon be back on hard training. There is one thing that I miss the most, that I will soon be able to do again... Skate! I really miss skating. I have never before had a break this long, without skating.

I want to thank my family and friends for their support while I and others had no clue of what my problem was with my injury. I will never say it has been an easy time for me. The pain I have had led to a lot of resting at home. Sometimes I sleep in the middle of the day, because the pain is affecting my whole body. The constant reminder from my calves that hurts was painful as well. It also affected my daily routines such as school, work and of course training.

But I never gave up. I just tried to find someone that could both understand what the problem was and give the right treatment for my injury. I want to thank the physios that figured out the reason for my injury, and who are now helping me back to skating and get a more normal life again with no daily pain, as I think will be the result.

I would also like to thank them for their support, help and kindness.

Now I have a long road ahead of me, but I am ready and I know it won’t be easy. I just have to finish my rehabilitation and then it is hard training. I will stick to my plans :)

Still waiting to get better for training...

The doctors are still doing some tests for my calfs and the physios are helping me lose up my calf muscules that is cramping... It is getting better but we dont know how long it will take...

I will inform when I am back in training again. Hopefully soon...

I rather be training as a full time speedskater, than waiting for this mistery to be solved...

My decision...

Hi Everyone and happy easter!

I am right now in Norway, trying to study, work alittle and enjoy this beautiful weather:)

I have had along time with alot of pain in my calfs and I am feeling it is getting alot better.

There still is alot to work on but I feel I am on the right track to the solution.

In 2-3 weeks from now I will start the real training again. I have not been able to train the last months, as the pain just has been growing. The last 3 weeks the pain has started to decrease and that is why I now can start training again.

I am looking forward to the season and take one step at the time:)

Some new information...

Hi everyone,

I am still injured and hopefully the solution is soon here. I beleive it!

I am doing alot of tests at the time, to see what my problem can be in my calfs.

It is not easy to figure it out, but the Doctors are doing everything to get to the buttom of the problem.

I miss skating on ice and the training off ice, but I know I will appreciate it when I am back again. I cant wait.

Still not on ice!

I am still waiting to see a doctor in Gothenburg for a second opinion. It is almost 3 weeks until I have the chance to see him. I hope this will give me an answer to my injury. I have not been on ice for awhile and I really miss ice training, normal dryland training.

I have to hope for the best!

I wish my self good luck:)

Seaon is over....

As I have not been able to train normal at all the last months. I have to look forward to the next season and get to the bottom of my problem.
I am missing out on Europeans, World Cup and Worlds.
I really feel like training and I wanted to be on these last competitions of the season.
But I dont want to be injured anymore and I want to train 100%.
The only way is to heal my injury and after that, get back on ice again:)

Two days ago on Wednesday the local newspapper wrote about me being injured and other things. It is in Swedish:). You can read about it on the link below.
