Blew out my knee sparring! Right in the middle of Bear season. Oh well I'll be taking it easy now for a while. I rowed today and it felt ok. Will continue working out as best I can minus the legs.
I check in and see this....and sparring...what a hooot!!!!!
Get on the mend and don't get on it until it feels really better...Some girls guard Dog, that's a guess but I'm fairly certain I'm right, on the trial decided Merlot was a threat and broke loose from her...Merlot decided he wasn't up for any sparring and took off...Problem was we were on the edge of a bank that fell off about 15 feet into what is known as Turtle Creek, and I was hooked to him while trying to keep myself between Merlot and the big boy....We both went over....Im not sure if Merlot tumbled much, but I remember doing two before we both splashed down, still hooked together...Must be something in the wind, because my knee took a hit, but came out of it whole with the exception of a little blood letting...Young teenage Girl who weighed only a little more than the Dog....She was crying up on top and I was pissed down on the bottom....Told her to go back were she came and sobbing away she went....
Still at it, weights in the basement, but looking forward to the gym opening....bunch of 3 an 4 milers with Merlot.....
Battue I never rolled with this guy before. He has a solid ground game, I was trying to hook my leg on his and it Popped! He instantly stopped and at first I thought it was him. Then I felt it and couldn't stand on it. But good news is I don't think it is as bad as I originally thought. Been icing the hell out of it. Compression sleeve when not icing. I can walk and the swelling is almost all gone. Hopefully back up and trining soon, maybe End of June. For now taking it very easy on it.
I hope you are ok buddy.
I hope you both heal up well.
MCH, it's good to train with folks who're conscious of the people they're rolling with. It might be worth getting it checked out. My left ACL was torn in a fight many years ago (2006). I was still able to run, lift, grapple, box....I just couldn't straighten it all the way or bend all the way to my butt. I had no trouble hitting triangles, re-guarding, etc....only at full extension or full flexion. After many months of never getting completely better I finally got an MRI and then had surgery to repair it. I should have had the MRI sooner....you can do a lot more on a torn ACL that you might think.
