To top the year off, the accident put a massive strain on my marriage and had my wife questioning whether she wanted to stay with someone who is into what she calls extreme activities, so she moved out a couple of weeks ago ending our thirteen year relationship. After she left I packed up and headed down to the snow to work for a week which was good as it would help me keep my mind of things at home. Unfortunately on the third day of work one of the kids in my lesson ran into me which resulted in my knee swelling as the day went on. That night I was in all sorts of pain as my knee had blown up and was putting pressure on the nerve so I had no sleep at all. In the morning I was hobbling into the office to fill out my accident report and slipped arse over on the ice (full movie style legs in the air flat on my back slip) at the front door and bruised my (already tender from the bike accident at the start of the year) back.
So now I am on compo from my part time job and had an MRI on Saturday which the results came through this afternoon. After having a chat with my physio mate I am up for an arthroscope to repair the damage which could put me out of action from riding for a while; maybe even Gingers Creek FFS. The only thing that has kept me sane this year is getting the Rex and getting back riding and it looks like that will be gone for a while now, not to mention the ski season is well and truly fucked.
So there you have it. I must have ran over a Chinaman to have the luck I've had this year. I just hope the year improves from here on in as it sure as hell couldn't possibly get any worse.
Sorry for the long post and all the negativity people. I just had to get it off my chest.
