I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH, BUT DRAMA HAS RULED!
WELL, SO YOU ALL KNOW, I HAVE RE-FRACTURED MY LIS FRANC TENDON AND HAVE BEEN DOWN AND OUT FOR QUITE A WHILE. WITH SURGERY, THE PAIN AND RECOVERY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP WITH MY BLOGS, BUT NOW I AM READY TO ENTER THE REAL WORLD AGAIN!
TO GIVE YOU THE READERS DIGEST VERSION, I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PAIN IN MY FOOT....WALKING HURT, STANDING HURT, THEN ALL DAILY ACTIVITIES HURT, SO FINALLY I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND FOUND OUT THAT I HAD RE-FRACTURED A PREVIOUS INJURY, YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT I HAD OPEREATED IN 2004. WELL, HELL, IT'S A GIFT THAT JUST KEEPS ON GIVING. AT ANY RATE, I HAD SURGERY AT THE END OF JULY, AND THE RECOVERY HAS BEEN....WELL...AWFUL! MY LEFT CALF HAS DWINDLED TO A MERE 13 INCHES FROM 151/2. SO RECENTLY, I HAVE BEEN WORKING LIKE A MANIAC TO RETURN TO MY NORMAL PHYSIQUE. AFTER BEING IN A HARD CAST FOR 6 WEEKS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WEIGHT BEARING. IT MADE ME CRAZY NOT WALKING ON IT, BUT GOT THRU THAT PART AND WENT TO A SOFT CAST, A LITTLE BETTER, BUT STILL NON WEIGHT BEARING (TRY THAT FOR A DAY....SUCH FUN ON CRUTCHES...NOT).
FINALLY, AFTER 10 WEEKS, I AM NOW WEARING MY SNEAKY PETES...LOL, AND AS OF TODAY MY LEFT CALF IS NOW 14 INCHES (NOT BAD FOR 3 WEEKS OF FULL WEIGHT BEARING AND THERAPY).
I FEEL GOOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RAINY AND COLD DAYS WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THE PLATES AND SCREWS IN MY FOOT, AND THE LACK OF MOVEMENT IN MY FOOT FROM THE FUSION OF 3 TARSAL BONES ON THE TOP OF MY FOOT. SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, I WAS NOT IGNORING YOU GUYS, RATHER I HAD SOME HEALING AND RECOVERY TO ATTEND TO FIRST :~)
BUT, ALL THAT ASIDE, LIFE HAS BEEN A REAL CHALLANGE TO REACH MY GOAL OF ENTERING THE PRO-FIGURE CONTESTS NEXT YEAR. BUT DARN IT....I'M GONNA DO IT. MY DOCTOR ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT NOW THAT MY BONES HAVE FUSED, AND WITH THE GREAT PLACEMENT OF THE PLATES AND SCREWS, MY FOOT WILL BE FINE AS LONG AS I DON'T DO HIGH IMPACT ACTIVITIES....LIKE MY OLD SELF, DOING CRAZY FLIPS AND JUMPS THAT I LOVED TO DO IN PRO-FITNESS.
OH WELL, AT THIS POINT I AM NOT COMPLAINING, RATHER, I JUST WANT TO GET MY BUTT BACK ON STAGE!
