I went in today, went under general. I woke up a few hours later feeling absolutely horrible. However, what the said was..."Your left knee is the worst we've ever seen for someone under 75."
They did say however that they did a lot of cleaning, snipping, repacking. So the good news is I have a 10x12 4 layer mat to stretch out on beginning Monday, the bad news is....No Tae kwon Do until after the first week of Feb.
The good news is I have had nothing but the utmost support from friends and family. When talking to dad I told him that all was ok as it should be and I was happy to hear that I would be able continuing studies soon. He said, "You are already a Master in my book so don't you worry about that, furthermore believe it or not we old fat black belts talk and you are good with younger students and your peers. That is hard to do and a talent hard to come by."
GM and his wife called and wished me the utmost speedy recovery. GM said they did my share of calestenics, kicking and reps of hapkido last night and will continue to do so until I get back.
A buddy of mine since high school, Aaron...A BBJ student that has his two sons in MSK:TKD is coming for the weekend, through Monday. He called, asked if I was on my way home. I answered yep, he said he had to pack his dog in the truck and he was on his way.
A couple of classmates from St. L school have called already and said "You always helped us in class, so since your down now we have no choice but bring the MMA and Van Damme DVD's, see you tomorrow at 10 am."
Of course the most important is the support my wife has, is and will be giving me over the next few weeks with this weekend being the hardest, no mobility option so its going to be harder for her. Aaron said, "Your wife has always been cool to me for the last decade and a half so it is time to return the favor."
So, I guess this trying to be nice to people is a good thing. I have always said "Kindness repays kindness". It is just humbling to see it for me.
You guys have all been supportive, as I have tried to do for others on the board as well, that is what MAer's do.
Humbly,
Hoshin
