End of the Line

Due to the nature of my injury I'm not going to do martial arts anymore.

The CT Scan revealed a disc bulging near my spinal cord. If I'm not careful the disc could touch the spinal cord causing further damage.

That's it.

It was a short journey and like a lot of other people, it has come to an abrupt end. I've seen others suffer broken collar bones and broken wrists and never come back. I never thought it would happen to me.

You should think carefully about getting involved in martial arts.... while your training everyone is OK, but as soon as you get hurt, noone wants to know about it.

Injury Report

This blog is turning into an injury blog instead of a martial arts blog.

I guess that's part of training, unfortunately.
I have to get some x-rays done next week. The doctor wants a CT Scan & X-Ray of my lower spine.

Hell only knows what I've done to myself.

I guess I can only stay positive and keep you posted. OSU.
