On my way to the Rehab!

It takes a while to start walking after having sat down for a while, but once I get going the pain kind of goes away. I am not supposed to film down here, so I kind of cut the video off before I get to the main point. But if you watched the small clip of me walking that I up loaded yesterday then, you can see what it looks like inside the rehab center. I have another 5 days left here, then I think I am checking out because I got some boys fighting up in Utsunomiya this Saturday. Although I am feeling a bit apprehensive about getting out in the real world, my doctors feel confident that I am ready for it. But today a Typhoon swept in over Tokyo and let me just say that I would not want to be walking around out there...

Sunday in a hospital

Feels like a Sunday just about anywhere else, I mean what is it about Sundays? It is like your whole life you are told to just chill on Sundays, so I like to just sleep in and try and do as little as possible. I still got woken up at 6:00 but stayed in bed until breakfast came in around 7:40. After that I have just been chatting on the computer, I only have on rehab session today and it is in the afternoon at 15:00. So I got lots of time to kill, unless friends start showing up like yesterday?

どこにいても、日曜日はやっぱり日曜日です。昔から日曜日の朝って早く起きたくないです、よーし！今日はどこかにいくぞ～って言われても、昼前に出た覚えないです。今日はでも、病院にいるのでいちよう朝６時におこされるんですけど、僕は朝ごはんが出るまで寝ていました。それから、アメリカにいる友達とチャットをしていました、それにしても。。。日曜日はやはり日曜日です。午後の１５時からリハビリが待っているので、それまでは映画でも見よか？ゲームでもやろうか？

One Week in here now!

After 7 days here things are going really well. Today I was really busy with all the friends that showed up and the rehab.

A week

It has been a week since I got here, and there has been lot going on since then. The rehab is almost militant, and I am making progress everyday.At first the results where suttle but the last two days I have made huge leaps. I am almost scared that I might be pushing it too hard, so I am going to take it a bit easy today. Try and not go too much over the edge, it is just in my blood. When I work out regardless if it is a rehab work out then I want to be able to push myself each step at the time. It has been almost a year since I have had something to work for and it is a great feeling just working towards some goal. My goal is to be able to walk out of here next week, get up on my bike and ride home! I think it is possible as long as I don't do anything stupid. When I broke my shin back in 2002 I spent 10 months recovering and had finally gotten able to kick the bag, when I started sparring and broke it again! after that it took me another year before I had the bolts taken out. So I have been there before, doing something out of place and paying the price. I don't want to go there again.


今日で一週間です、本当に成長したと思いながら。ひょっとしたらやり過ぎではないか？先生のもとでしかやっていないので安心しているけど、それでもやはり毎日毎日の成長はすごいです、昨日なんて寝返りが出来ました。傷口の上に寝ると、この病院のベッドはかたいので痛いですけど３６０°を回りましたことだけで感動しました。自分のベッドだったらテンピュールマットなのでかんぺき寝れたと思います。ま、それはあと一週間があれば自分のベッドで寝れます。本当に一年間で初めて目標に向かって頑張っている自分は楽しくってしょうがないです。出来たら、来週自分の足で退院してバイクに乗って家に帰りたいです。バイクと言えば、本来なら今日は仙台に行かなきゃいけないです、明日はＪＤ－Sterの次のレースです。僕は走れないので非常に残念に思いながら、Sherifさんに僕のハヤブサを貸してレースにエントリーするらしい。。。どのタイムが出るのは本当に楽しみです。今日もリハビリ頑張るぞう～！

6day reel

5th. day in hospital

It has been 3 days since the operation and I just graduated from the wheel chair. I am not sure if the pace is up to the standards of my own mind, but I am doing it. Although the pain is almost unbearable we all still push through and make it happen. I can actually feel slightly differences on a daily basis, it might be small things like getting in and out of my bed. It has become a lot easier, or putting on my training pants for the workout sessions, the pain is slowly fading and in its wake it is leaving a mark like an after burn. I wish I could get rid of the muscle soreness from having all my thigh muscles pulled out the way in order to expose the Themur, but that is probably going to take some more time.

オペから今３日がたちました、その３日で全く歩く自信ないから昨日は車椅子を卒業しました。本当に早いです、少し早すぎるんじゃないかと思ったけどイタイイタイを言いながらみんな頑張っていますので負けたくないです。いやいや、分かっているよ、これは勝ち負け関係ないですけど、となりで頑張っているおばあちゃんがいるとやはりもっとやらなきゃとのことになるよね。股関節の周りの筋肉はオペのときかなり引っ張られてのでそれで今だにいたいです、この痛みが取れれば普通に歩けると思いますが。。。まだまだですね！

Forgot this one!

I actually forgot to upload this one, it was just before! like literally 3 min. before they came and called me into surgery. My family showed up just in time, and that always makes you feel good. We all work on our own timing and tempo, but this time they were really cutting the edge close! Like they say better late than never, they saw me get out of the surgery but I was seriously drugged up and didn't know what was going on, so it was hard to tell what was going on during those hours.





この映像はアップしなかったけど、本当にタイミングよかったです。あと３分でオペ室に行くのに、ぎりぎり間に合ったよ。
