Howzit everyone?! I thought I would just pop in and drop you guys a message with what’s been cracking over here in South Africa. First of all I want to wish all of you a really great, exciting, healthy and energetic 2010. Let’s make the most of it”¦ ☺

I went for surgery on my left ankle on the 29th of December and have been on the couch with my leg up for the past week”¦In the hospital everything went smooth, I tried to enjoy those narcotics for as long as possible while on the surgery table”¦But of course I passed out within 10seconds”¦Gheghe! When I woke up they wanted to keep me in the hospital for observation and to make sure I kept my leg up. But I was like, F that I’m outta here”¦So the doc said, ok cool you can go home. I took the painkill infuser out and that was pretty funny, cause I didn’t expect for it to be such a long thing that they put down my vain. I was like holy moly and kept pulling, when it was finally out it started bleeding a bit. I struggled to put my clothes back on, but it worked out.

Then Aaron came get me from the hospital and drove me home. I was fine and kept my leg up, played some playstation and just chilled. The next day tho, when all the pain killers stopped working my ankle was hurting sooo much, I was freaking out and dropped two pain killers. But it didn’t seem to help”¦ For the coming 3 days I was in quite a bit of pain and couldn’t go anywhere.

On New Years Eve I was sleeping at 00.30, so that was pretty boring. Haha, no it’s good”¦I want to recover as quickly and strong as possible, so no drinking for a while now.

Today I rented a car again, with a brace around my ankle I can just push down the clutch. So I can cruise around and do my shit. I’ll visit the physio tomorrow and take it from there. I can go to the gym again, so I can squeeze out some energy.

Arrite take care, and ride hard if you can ride. Pull some shit for me please!! 😀 It’s harsh seeing everyone kite and feel the wind blow 35kts. But this will motivate me to go big when I feel better. Give me 6weeks”¦

Peace! Ruben
