I'm getting slightly anxious and panicky, so this is it:
Today I'm getting surgery on my meniscus, which is by no means ACL surgery or a knee replacement, but I'm fucking nervous and not looking forward to the next few days (fresh cut meat and all). I am stoked on the fact that it will let me get back on my board, because right now I'm fucking absolutely nuts, not being able to skate and all. I've been off for a couple of months now, and it's the longest I've ever not skated since 198motherfucking5. I've lost a decent amount of weight since not being able to skate, I'm pretty sure because I'm bummed out, but I am glad that I'll be back on board. My main goal is a planned skate session with Jim T next year (and hopefully including Mark from Slap and maybe Gipper and some more SF heads, nudge nudge?).
I'm not stoked on crutches, but I'm stoked on my long time real-life homie Spungo for going out of his way to show me some Yoga exercises that I'll use as a supplement to bike riding and other shit to get my knee bendy and shit.
