I've got about 1 hours and 30 minutes left before I leave work to go to my Orthopedic Specialist. I'm scared shitless. I don't want to have to go through any of this. I don't want to put on weight while I nurse my ass back to health. I don't want to have to slowly be able to walk about. I don't want to have to relearn all my Capoeira! Shit shit shit...
I have dedicated my time since January to something I truly love: Capoeira, and it's gonna be taken away from me for some time. I need to figure out a way to continue my practice of it. I know I'm still going to play with my birembau(1 stringed bow musical instument) and I know my right foot will be as strong as a fuckin ox when I recover. The crutch using is slightly building up my upper body. So maybe it won't be so bad. My left leg will be all atrophied, but I'll be ready everywhere else. Maybe I'll take this time to really work on the upper body so I can finally do those queda de rins and bananieras and au batido and all those crazy things. What makes me a little sad is that I was supposed to get my first cord (equivalent to belts in other martial arts) in December, but as a pre-req, i needed to attend several Capoeira functions. Now, I won't be able to play for months.
And surfing! Alas! I will not surf the big waves of the San Diego Winter. I was finally getting a hang of it. ehh... I guess I will look at the brighter side of things and decide that this is my chance to work on my upper body strength, also great for surfing.
anyways... why is my blog turning into my new method of bitching to the world? Next time, something positive and uplifting.
