Calf, meet knee...

[jsbowden]

I have the first of the final three evaluations tomorrow night. This one is informal, but depending on how it goes determines whether I stay on the list for the formal pretest and final for second degree. So of course, I managed to injure myself last night. Mr. Hook Kick, meet Mr. Roundhouse Chamber, or, see title of post for further description.

It's minor, only a bruised calf, but I can't walk unaffected right now, and I can only hope I'll be okay for tomorrow night. It hurts a lot more this morning than it did when I went to bed last night, but there's only the slightest shadow of a bruise. A week from now it'll be yellow and brown and cover half my lower right leg. I love those really deep contusions. Like icebergs, they're bad news.

If nothing else, it'll make things more interesting. I'll be doubling up on pain meds tomorrow night. That should help with the calf as a nice side bonus.

I didn't do it, did I? =(

No, it was one of the kids, and it wasn't on purpose or anything. I made it through tonight, although not nearly as well as I'd have liked.

Good, I'm glad I didn't do it.

I knew you would do fine! How're you feeling? How did everyone else do?

I wouldn't say fine. I was just struggling to keep standing up towards the end, and I had Wan Hyo on the brain when Master L called for Hwa Rang. My left side belt stretch for both front and side were horrible...my hip wasn't being nice to me tonight. I really hate that some days it's fine, and others I can take a metric shit load of meds and it still hurts like hell to do anything.

It wasn't your fault that your hip was acting up, and you have to take it into concideration. CONCIDERING that your hip was bothering you tonight, it's still pretty good that you were able to make it through the class.
