What the F*** was I thinking?

Well, I am writing this post as I lay flat down in bed, where i have been all day. From the last post you can see that my son is enjoying his Jiu Jitsu class. Well after a week of watching him I decided to join the adult class. I thought to myself "man i can learn how to do this, get in shape, quit smoking, and learn some killer Jiu Jitsu moves all at the same time.

Well lets just say, last Thursday I learned that I am way to old for this. As we were practicing a move, that's right just practicing. I rolled someone over out of guard. As I rolled him my ribs landed straight on his knee. I heard something pop. Man i could not believe it. Well i decided to try the move once again and I could not do it because of the pain. So i decided to leave. Well once I made it home, I curled up on the living room floor in agonizing pain.

I had no idea what was going on. Long story short. My wife bless her heart also had no idea what was going on. So she called 911. I got the lovely pleasure of riding in an ambulance to the ER. After a cat scan and xray it was found I had 3 bruised ribs. So they pumped me up with some pain medicine and gave me a script and sent me on my way.

I seemed to be ok through the weekend. As long as I took my pain meds.

Then last night happened. I went to the store, when i came home I was hit with the most excruciating pain I have ever had in my entire life. I landed up on all fours face down in the front yard not being able to move.

So once again I got an ambulance ride to the hospital ER. They once again did xrays pumped me up with pain meds and muscle relaxers. It was discovered that I has having back spasms due to the bruised ribs. So they sent me home with scripts for pain killers and muscle relaxers and sent to my bed for the next 3 days.

So long story short, back spasms suck!! Big time. Worst pain you will feel. Second, don't do something that is meant for young kids and teens when you are over the age of 30. I will stick to going to the gym when i get back on my feet and stay away from the full contact activities.

So you can laugh at me or feel bad at me, whichever you wish. I just know that there is no more Jiu Jitsu for me. I will live vicariously through my son and let him have the fun Stay tuned, I think my wife has a picture of me in the ER. Will post it soon.

Later, Kenny
