JEF CUORE UTSUNOMIYA HALL

This is the place for one of my projects, I am producing a new Martial Arts Gym in Utsunomiya! The place is HUGE ! probably the biggest gym in Japan...It is not open yet, but we are getting ready to open up by the beginning of September! I will keep you all informed about the project as we move along!

Goodbye my friend...

ちょっと話は噛んでいるけど。。。気持ちは伝えたかな～？

サヨナラ、腹ペコあおむしさん。。。


I had to say goodbye to my little friend, we spent 2 weeks in the hospital together and he followed me all the way home. But that was the end of the ride, I had to let him out in the open. So I released him in a tree in front of our house...I hope you grow into a great butterfly or something like that?

last video from the hospital !

Finally geting out of here

This is going to be last entry I will be writing from my hospital, I am getting out of here in a couple of hours. Yesterday they took out the stitches, and I am officially a human cyborg. I feel like one, walking is still painful but, I am able to move around the hospital much more freely than just a few days before. Last time I spoke to my Doctor he told me that no matter how painful I should start to walk without the cane, and since then I have not used it. But I have been wanting it for every step I am taking, because although I can walk without it. It feel so much more stable with it and I feel that I have a lot more control. But it is the loss of control that I need to regain in the left leg that has been operated on. Staying here in the hospital is like being in a very protected environment, and I am able to calculate everything. I know how far it is to the rehab center or toilet, and walking is done in short bursts. The real challenge will come when I get out of here and don't know how far I got to go in a any given situation. Once you are hurt you realize how much you actually walk during a day you might think you are not walking much. But this is all part of the process that I have been through before so I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and all I can really do is just push on forward and work towards the full recovery. I see myself running in my mind, and that is a goal not too far away, so that is going to be the first of many goals on the way! Wow, this entry got real long, I hope you didn't get bored reading it...:)

今日は病院からの最後の日記エントリーです、この後は最後のリハビリに行った後に部屋をきれいにしてから帰る！やっと自分のベッドで寝れる。。。今回は自分の枕は持ってきたけど、まくらはベッドと違う。まくらはただのおまけでした、やっぱり家にあるテンピュールマットレスは恋しいです。だいぶ歩けるようになっているけど、病院内ではトイレまでの距離やリハビリセンターまでの道は頭の中で分かっていて、頑張って歩くんですが。本当のリハビリは家に帰ってから始まる、社会人として復活すると以外に歩いていないな~と思っている日はかなり歩きます。そこでは本当の頑張りが始まるけど、自分はリハビリ初めてじゃないから大体分かっています。しかも、分かったいるからこぞ、トンネルの向こうに気持ち良く走っているニコラスが待っているので頑張りたいです。今日はなぜかたくさん書きました、つまらなかったら。。。ごめんね！　：）

Belgian Friends in my Hospital !

Lot's of friends !

Yesterday I actually had friends coming in all day, it was great I am in hospital and I was busy meeting friends! The best of them were Spitaels Koen and Bart Kuppens from Belgium. They are here to fight in some Karate tournament in Fukuoka, and still made time to come and see me. It was amazing, then Sherif and Sawano-san showed up on their bikes and we all got exited about it!


This is Sherif on my Monster bike on the weekend in Sendai, it rained and the race got cancelled, but that was not holding him back from doing some Burn outs!

S.P.Works !

昨日朝から晩まで友達たくさん来ました、何だかリハビリと友達で何と忙しかったです！ベルギーから友達も来ました、一度病院を間違えてきたので、僕の部屋につくまで４時間かかったらしいです！本当にお疲れさまでした。それから　Ｓ．Ｐ．Ｗｏｒｋｓのシェリフさんと沢野さんがバイクで来てくれて、本当に盛り上がりました。外に行ってバイクの話で熱くなっていたよ。。。

Feeling like I am in the Amazonhouse

I felt like I was inside a zoo or something, so I kind of made a joke out of it in Japanese. Yesterday proved to be a hard day. I bicycled for 15 min. at what I would consider normal speed. I actually sweat'd quite a bit and it felt great to take a shower and clean up after a god work out. Today my assigned rehab doctor is on leave and I am meeting up with some other Doctor that is going to take me through the daily routine. But I am starting to feel that I might be able to push myself in ways that only I would know since it is my body. Obviously they know what to do with elderly people coming out of this surgery, but I am after all still a professional athlete. And have a much more intimate relationship with my body, so I know where to push and where not to. I have been improving on all the exercises and adding new ones that the Doctors here have never seen. So I guess that is adding to my fast recovery, I mean when I got up on the bike they were like? Are you sure you should be doing that? And I was like? Are you sure you should have me do other stuff that is way out of my league? So I have been able to find the middle ground and feel that the last couple of days have been very productive. I am hoping to get out of here on Friday and then hopefully soon I will be able to resume a normal life.
