Haha, right.
The last year has been a bit of a rollercoaster to say the least. The last couple years have been a bit of a rollercoaster to say the least, again.
I'm going to try and keep it short. Emphasis on Try. The last real update was from July and I know I wasn't keeping up much before that either, but as I expressed in old posts I took a lot of time away from shows and all that life to be there for the beginning of my daughters life. I'm currently still being there for the beginning of my daughters life and will continue to do so for the remainder of my life.
Anyway, back to July.
I was ready to rock again! Me and J.B. had a grip of shows coming up and it felt like we were in the coming back out of retirement again stage, again.
Above I mentioned my last post being from back in July and that happened to be the Blueprint show in Oshkosh. This would also be the show that abruptly ended my Summer fun and had me laid up until recent. While I was performing I was hopping around on stage like usual during my second to last song and out of nowhere I just kinda crashed to the floor. It happened so fast but when I came down I knew something was wrong, not to mention my knee cap looked closer to my quads than my knee. A late night trip to the ER and it turned out to be a ruptured/torn Patellar Tendon. I had surgery right away that next morning and the path to recovery had begun.
Just to add a quick note in-between these pictures, about a month after surgery I woke up one morning with some serious pains in my upper right chest area. At first I just thought I slept wrong or something but by nights end the pain didn't go away so I went to the ER, again. I ended up having three blood clots, two in my leg around the injury and one large clot in the upper part of my right lung. The theory is that the clot in my lung had passed through my heart to get there so I should consider myself a lucky motherfucker, not to mention thankful that I have a strong heart. Carry on...
Fast forward to now.
I have to have surgery again. Long story short, I have to have surgery, again!
As depressing as it is to say this, the surgery didn't take and my tendon tore itself away from my knee cap again. I'm having a longer more complicated surgery as well as an estimated longer recovery time to top it off. I'm also going to be as f*%king optimistic as I possibly can and get through this though, its a bump in the road but what would life be without it.
So...
I'm basically just here to let you know where I've been and why. I'm still writing, I'm still alive, I just haven't been recording or keeping up with a lot of you for some time now.
Hi.
Be in touch...
ps: I had a bunch of new music I wanted to work on and release a while back but that never happened with everything going on. I'd really like to move on from a lot of that work and focus on new stuff. If I can get my sh*t together I might release some of those projects "as is" eventually?
ps: Wifey, as cheesy as it sounds, you are my rock. I never understood why people said sh*t like this but now I get it. We'll get through this yo! I'm sorry. I love you.
ps: Dad, you got through that sh*t, again! Here's to many more years cancer free!
ps: You, yes you, let me help you sometime.
xo
