Hey, thanks for asking. So far so good. I've got feeling back in my thumb, but I'm not allowed to do much of anything yet (no driving either which is driving me up a wall!). I got back to the doc at the end of the month...and of course the one question on my list is, "When can I start doing at least footwork?" So, won't know much else until my next appointment...hopefully another week or so!
Yea, unfortunately the numbness is from my neck (one of my discs is pushing on my spinal cord). Keystones was my last tournament probably until November-ish. I'm having surgery in 3 weeks to fix my neck, so we'll see what happens. It was definitely a good time on Saturday...at least for me! lol
Maybe next year to come out and support the division. I don't compete much (if at all any more), but I'm glad you're making progress, sorry to haer about the physical maladies- was the numbness due to the neck?
Ah, gotcha. I was very pleased with how I did. 6 out of 8 in the Mixed Sabre. I should've stopped my DE when my neck got too bad, but dumb @$$ here sucked it up and finished it crying...but I enjoyed it despite my neck. Footwork and distance were great, bladework was decent despite the numbness in my thumb and hand. So all in all it was a great tourney for me! Sry you missed all the fun!
It's been a while, but I have good news. My wrist has finally stopped hurting and I have a normal range of motion. Either it's healed, or my body just got used to it.
