well this is my first ever blog. ever ever. I always have random ramblings to report, sightings, views, ideas etc usually resulting in a mass txt to my friends. Some reply, some dont. I figured it might be time to try a new forum. so here goes....
I have been at home for the last week resting after knee surgery. Oh, i totally asked for it!! Thats what i get for thinking i could participate in activites i lived for when I was 8 years old. Considerably older, larger and less nimble now!!! lol.... Ok, so, at the begining of the year i decided I might start roller skating again. I had the bug. I have been going thru a bit of a self discovery, life journey, (mid life crisis, lol ) over the past year or so. I closed the shop one lunch time and headed round the corner to the sports store. They had 1 pair of roller skates left in the whole store, my size, green wheels (my fave colour) and they were on sale!! destiny!!! I took my ass of to the local rink for the next few weekends. oh the memories!! I was approached by what turned out to be the roller derby coach to come and check out training one night for a new team that was just getting started. Gees it was fun!! I was hooked.... From then on it was baseball slides, booty blocks and quads on fire. There was so much about it to love. I was reliving my childhood, getting a great workout, meeting new people and releasing some tension, i really feel in love with it.
Until........ We had been practising jumping over the past few weeks. I was a little scared and decided to bite my lip and just do it.... It was so very freeing!!!!!! , but, i kept jumping too late and knocking the bar over!! damn!!.. so i decided that was it, i was so gonna do this!!... it had to happen....I got a good run up, looked straight ahead and jumped!! yey, eveyone shouted !!! great jump!!..... but my coach had been distracted and turned around right as i jumped!! he missed it!!! fuck!!.... he said i was totally going to have to do that again. And i did.... Except this time, as i landed, my right skate decided to twist outwards, taking my leg, up to my knee with it. CRACK!!!....... It twisted all the way around. eeewwwww oouucchhh. I hit the deck. The pain was breath taking!!! Apparently the human body isnt made to twist like that. lol.
Xray, ultrasound, MRI. Turns out i fucked my knee!! lol. Torn this and that, no skating for Tam for a while!!!! My new found fave past time was gone, I missed out on a great new job because of my injury and had to spend $$$ on an operation and physiotherapy that could have gone towards a new tatt!!! fuck!!! I had just invested in a new pair of skates, helmet and pads not long before it!!!
In conclusion... I DID ROLLER DERBY AND ALL I GOT WERE THESE PICTURES OF THE INSIDE OF MY RIGHT KNEE!! lol. Pretty cool hey? At least i can laugh about it now!! so whats next??? think i might fuck the top half by starting boxing???? dislocate a shoulder or something!!! lol.
