Week Eight



September 7, 2013

Today marks eight weeks since my injury. My knee is feeling much more stable. It’s still sore and swollen though. However, I’m moving quicker and feel like I have more range of motion. I haven’t worn my brace at all. One thing that is really bothering me is that my right quad has atrophied really bad. It looks like there is no muscle mass whatsoever. 

I went to the dojo I train at today to watch class, and after speaking with some of the others there about their injuries, I don’t feel so bad. One guy broke his hip and was out of karate for two-months. Another had blown his knee and had to get surgery. One broke his jaw at least a year ago and is just now getting back to sparring. I have to understand that injuries take time to heal and that this isn’t going to last forever. I will get back to where I was, maybe even better next time around.
