Little update :

• I’ve had to get my appendix removed in Danemark on my way down from Norway.
• It’s been a bit of an ordeal since I had to go through all of it alone, as my family still is in Norway
• It’s now 10 days since the procedure and I’ve been resting home (in Belgium)
• My GP removed the stitches and the cut in my umbilical region busted wide open, as its stitches weren’t properly done.
• This means I will heal and scar much slower than I should have
• This means no abdominal effort whatsoever until it’s fully healed
• After it’s healed I’ll still have to wait for the scar to become strong enough to deal with efforts.
• This means no kendo for a long, long while.
• I was supposed to move places by the end of the month and I had to call in the family to move my stuff for me (I can’t help, at all).

FML.

I’ll still go to kendo in September. I’ll teach class like a very old sensei, partly looking from the sidelines, partly using the sempai to do the technique demonstration without having to do it myself… But no way I’m not being present for my dojo.
