So, tomorrow will be the last training session for me and my students before I undergo surgery.
Somewhat excited yet apprehensive.
Excited by the prospect of being able to return to normal teaching and training at my dojo and being able to resume training with Gensei-ryu Karate-do Butokukai later in the year, and (hopefully) receive Japan Karate-do Federation certification. But mostly, being able to kick, roll and put weight on my knee again!!
Apprensive by the fact that with every surgery there is a risk, however small, that the surgery could fail or even make my knee worse.
All this plus the fact I will become a father later in the year just gives me the fire to succeed, become a better karate-ka (and hopefully father) no matter how long and painful my recovery may be.
