Don't &*%@ with my Family and news for the masses
To those five or six people out there, and you know who you are, let last night's events be a lesson to you. Don't ever fuck with my family again. Burn in hell.
And now, for news that concerns the rest of the population.
I saw the knee doctor again on Monday. He cleared me to fence again! Yay! He's really happy with my progress, and says my left knee is now tracking even better than my right. He told me to go ahead and push my knee. He said the most he thinks I'll experience is a little soreness if I over do it, and that should go away in a day or two.
The weird thing is, I'm going through a really weird learning curve trying to trust my own leg again. You see, I've still got quite a bit of numbness in it (the doc said that could take 6-8 months to go away), so I can't always feel when it's underneath me where it should be. It's a really strange process, trying to trust that my knee is going to be where it should be.
So, I'll be fencing epee this weekend. I can't change direction fast enough yet to fence foil or sabre, so I'm still trying to take things one step at a time. I'm really excited about it, even though I'm probably going to do dreadfully awful since I've taken the entire summer off. Oh well. I've got to start somewhere.
In other news, we have a new edition to our family! Flick the rat. (No, that wasn't a typo, we really did get a rat.) I never in all my life envisioned myself owning a rat as a pet, but he's actually really sweet. He likes to sit on my shoulder while I'm on the computer. We really got him for my son to learn to take care of something, and so far, it seems to be working out. He gives the rat plenty of attention, and helps me check on his food and water every day. *sigh* A rat.

Hey there. It's probably weird hearing from me, but you were always good company at Fnet, and I was wondering how you were doing. Glad to hear the doc's cleared you for fencing. Good luck, and I hope your knee heals up quick. I hear rats make good pets. I've always been meaning to get one, but maybe when I have more room. I hope everythings alright with you and your family. Take Care.
