Latest Happennings

Here it is the end of October almost and it has been a busy month. Dana and the girls went up for their black belt test and no changed. That's a nice way of saying they didn't make it. I went up for it last week and I no changed myself. Unlike Dana and the girls I just didn't do three forms, I opted to do all nine. I screwed up the last three of the nine and took three attempts to break the last station of the board breaks. Dana and Judith didn't break their last station. I don't remember how they did on their first attempt. This was their second black belt test and my first. Now we all go up together again the middle of next month.
Victoria fucked up her knee at the end of September. Allegedly, she was doing cartwheels on the hard tile surface at the mall. I didn't see it, I was walking in front of them when it happened. Her sister Judith isn't saying and Victoria won't fess up only saying that she felt her whole knee cap shift out of place. When I heard her crying, I thoght she was just screwing around. She stayed at home the next day and the following day we took her to the doctor. They sent her to an orthopedic specialist nad he say s the cartilage is damaged behind the knee cap. Victoria underwent a knee scope last week to remove some small slivers of loose cartilage and to have some holes drilled behind the patella to help facilitate blood flow to heal what cartilage remains. She's hobbling about on crutches now.
What pisses me off about the whole thing is that she was out fucking around doing cartwheels on a hard surface. If it had happened in taekwondo their insurance would have helped. If it had happened in volleyball, there would have at least been witnesses. Now I'm out 350 dollars and that's with the insurance. As if I had 350 to laying around. At least she's okay and that's what's important.
