HoneyBadger Down!! HoneyBadger Down!!

So Sunday the 19th when we were working out at our team workout,

I bit the big one and fell.

I almost caused a pile up behind me.

We were doing sprints and running sideways

to make it more interesting and fun.

I had made it down one direction and slowly (and when I say slowly

I mean s-l-o-w-l-y I was pooped) jogged back to switch sides and do it again.

All was fine until about half way when my leg that went first decided

it wanted to go again. I managed to get my self half way turned

(to like if I was going to run straight) and my brain was still in the mode I was

running sideways.

Then It was like my feet were cemented down to the track

and

BOOM

HONEYBADGER DOWN

HONEYBADGER DOWN

It ripped my left knee open and gave me lovely

road rash on the left leg with little asphalt

rocks embedded in. My team mates came running as did our fearless

leader. It was gushing blood everywhere.

I was helped up and I finished my sprinting.

No way was I going sideways to the left tho.

But the important thing was I DIDN'T QUIT.

Yeah I was bleeding to death but when I got back to the bleachers

I poured ice cold water on it to kinda wash it and that helped numb it. Then we did a few more running exercises and headed back to the studio to wrap things up.

I went to the Dr after class was over. It was still numb and trying to bleed but not as bad.

They numbed it up and went to town scrubbing on it. They got out all the junk but said me washing

it out with the water probably helped wash junk out and kept it numb.

Infection is easy they said because it is right at the joint in your knee. They were going

to try and do stitches but I didn't have enough meat

left to sew it shut. So they used super glue and the

tape looking stitches stuff. They wrapped it with an ace bandage

since I am allergic to latex and couldn't wrap it with the stretchy stuff that looks

like an ace bandage (the lab people use it in place of tape.

 I can't think for the life of me what it is called).

I went to class all week just being careful. Today was the first day I have 

put any type of pressure on my knee for fear it will burst open

or hurt like hell. I didn't put pressure right on it but above it and

it was ok.

I am so like a HoneyBadger it isn't even funny. 

Something happens to me and I get right back

up. Dust myself off and continue.

HoneyBadger Don't Care!!!
