Discouraged?

I'm really discouraged with skating right now because I haven't been able to get back into it very much since I've been off of the ice the past year and a half due to injury. I think that I would be abe to do it, but my two biggest problems right now are that my parents aren't sure they want me back on the ice due to fear of injury, and I feel like I am unable to skate as well as I used to and even though it's coming back it's so slow. Any suggestions to help keep my spirits up?
