AWOL for now
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I’m just not in the mood to ramble on about gaming right now. My ankle injury has completely sapped the energy out of me and I’m at a pretty high “bummed out” level at the moment. The doc told me this week that it may never heal properly and that my hoop days may be over. For a guy who just got back into shape by playing basketball 3-4 times a week since January, it’s pretty devasting news. I’m not a treadmill/bike machine/running kind of guy. For me, exercise just for the sake of exercise is as boring as James Joyce. I just can’t do it. I need the competition factor.
There’s still a chance that my ankle will heal fine and that I’ll be back on the court this fall. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe this guy was just covering his ass by telling me that I could always struggle with this injury? I dunno. I guess it would be riskier for him to say, “You’ll be back playing in 3 months.” I can understand that. Still, this news was like a punch in the gut. Here it is going on 5 weeks since I goobered up my ankle and I’m still in a walking boot. I can put pressure on it, walk up the steps, etc. But ANY kind of sideways movement is like a a needle being shoved in my foot. But it is progressing.
So, anyway, I’m taking a blog break for a bit, most likely until NCAA 2005 comes out, which will give us all a WHOLE lot to talk about.
