Yeah already did. Swelling's gone down, probably thanks to the tons of anti inflamitries I've been taking. Going to sportsmed tomorrow so I can hopefully go back to work and also to get some rehab excercises.
That's kinda what I mean when you twist it the wrong way. Mine feels like when you twist it a bit the muscle is a bit tender. In a way like it is loose and still moves slightly to where it was stretched to.

Mark got a sequence today. Didn't see it, but sounded good.

Oh joy! Looks like I'll need a knee reco! Doc was about 90% sure. Gotta get an mri to confirm. I really doubt I can handle a year off my board. Bring on getting fat from excess beer consumption, as I think I'll need to be an alco to deal with not skating. I seriously want to cry!

Good luck Dave! I think you'll need it. By the way make sure you go to sportsmed or a sports doctor. The difference between them and a gp is rediculous.

Dang walker! So sorry to hear that. Good luck.
((S.A.F)24 July 2006
yeah dave shot a few was real good, well have to go back and film the tricks soon.
fuck walker that sucks so much. when will you find out if you definetly need one?
AA.Walker24 July 2006
Getting an mri scan on Wed, but the doctor said he was over 90% sure. Guess I should hang onto that glimer of hope, but I'm trying to prepare myself to deal with not being able to roll for so long. I've been wanting to go skate already and it's only been a week!
Ssorry24 July 2006

NN.I.S24 July 2006
hey sorry, sean wants his 15 bucks
Eel davo24 July 2006
Oh fuck man, that sounds soo bad, that is the worst luck...
I think I got off lightly compared to you, mine was feeling so much better today, actually managing to hobble without crutches. Uni was sooo gay tho, not very handicapped-friendly. My shoulders will be huge from carrying myself on crutches all week.

That really is gay tho mate, i wish you all the best. if mine turns out worse than I thought, then we can be beer buddies and get fat while watching skate vids. And while you're crippled I'll come over and poach all your footy for my vid.

i got up at 4 this mroning so me and two other guys could drive to the city to get 5 dollar all you could eat pancakes at the pancake house before school, was well worth getting up
PPOOKS*25 July 2006
if you ever have a serving of pancakes with actual toppings on it you will realise how whack the plain ones are. its worth the extra 5 bucks
Eel davo26 July 2006
Well, went to the doc today. Some Medial Ligament damage, but thankfully no tear. Possible cartilage damage, but physiotherapy should show that up a bit better if there is any. Looks like I got off light fellas.
Keep your fingers crossed for Walker...
AA.Walker26 July 2006
Good to hear Dave. Don't want to be down on it, but did you go to a sports doc though? My local GP said mine should be fine as well, but he only poked at it. I went to sportsmed (costs the same as well) and he did all kinds of shit to it and explained everything with a model of a knee. Did yor Doc pull at your knee and shit?
I probably won't find out about mine till Monday when I go to sportsmed again.
Hope for your sake he's right, but you don't want that shit to be weak or it'll plague you.
Eel davo26 July 2006
Yeah he did all the pulling and stretching and what not, got out the model knee and explained it all to me. I've got to go to the physio, so I'm sure he'll find anything that the doc might have missed.
