We were thrilled to see Brian, who was not naturally outgoing in nature, excel in his commentary. It was like watching your introverted friend crush karaoke night. Brian even gave me a big hug after Franc\u2019s final performance, a moment I\u2019ll treasure forever. Skating into the Sunset (And Straight into a Wall) Naturally, I couldn\u2019t stop there. I joined an amateur precision skating team, despite having zero precision. We took second place in a Las Vegas competition, which sounds impressive until you realize only two teams were competing. Still, we performed at bat mitzvahs, birthday parties, and anywhere that needed a little sequined chaos.<\/p>\n

Then came Halloween at the rink. I went as a wild witch\u2014so convincing that I scared Brian. Josh dressed as a dead hockey player. Ty, in a Spider-Man costume so tight, took one look in the mirror and exclaimed, \u201cYou can see I was circumcised!\u201d Borrowing Josh\u2019s hockey cup saved the day\u2014and Ty\u2019s dignity. But the real pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance? I forgot I was on call at Kaiser and waltzed into the hospital in full witch regalia.<\/p>\n

Neurological issues started creeping in\u2014losing my balance, falling backward, snapping at people over trivial things. One day, after yet another fall, I knew.<\/p>\n

It was over. In true dramatic fashion, I stalked off the ice for good\u2014and by \u201cstalked,\u201d I mean I shuffled away like a dejected penguin. It wasn\u2019t just the end of skating. It was the end of that part of my life\u2014 the movement, the camaraderie, the ridiculousness that had made it all so much fun. And without it, I felt adrift. OceanofPDF.com s I hung up my skates, real life came crashing in. Near the start of my SLP career, my son Shawn\u2014struggling with his own demons\u2014had become unable to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.<\/p>\n

And so, his eight-year-old son, Josh, came to live with my mother and me. In our tiny one-bedroom condo. \u201cCozy\u201d was an understatement.<\/p>\n
