Hey everybody. AG checking in. I hope this finds you well.
Unfortunately, I cut my hand in late June. It turned out to be more serious than I thought. I severed two tendons in my index finger, and a nerve in my thumb. No fun, ha. Because of its severity, the tendons were put back together with microscopic surgery. This was the first time I have had surgery, and hopefully the last! The doctor put me in a mini-cast to keep my wrist bent, because if I open my wrist it will tear the repair he made. I’ve had the cast on for the last three weeks. I will be getting it off on Tues of next week. Wooooooo.
But, the fun doesn’t end there! It will then be time for a few weeks of rigorous physical therapy. So, it is safe to say I will be out for this month. For someone like me who surfs 24/7, not being able to surf can make a man insane in the membrane! I think you all know, it isn’t in me to just sit back and watch this time go by. No way. I am taking this as an opportunity. An opportunity to re-group, re-focus, and come back twice as strong and healthy as before! I have been training my ass off 6 days a week at a professional sports center ( que Rocky theme song now……ha) . I especially feel that with all of your continued support, even through this bump in the road, I will be more positive and amped than ever before.
Bottom line I want to thank you for all of your continued support. I will keep you updated on my progress.
When I get the green light to get back in the water, I feel bad for anyone that gets in my way
Game on!
Peace
Alex
