Road To Recovery Episode 4: You're Doing Too Much

yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he finally did it he got it [Applause] [Music] I started messing around on my board a lot earlier than I should have just rolling just to see how it felt was curious cuz I had by that time I was walking good and I was feeling pretty good I just wanted to see what my balance felt like on my skateboard I got on surprisingly everything felt pretty natural pretty normal did I didn't feel too like weird about it a little by little of course in any Papa Ali pop an ollie next thing you know you're like well I wonder if I can kick fluid kind of everyday kind of doing this for probably about a good six weeks I was skating every single day and I was starting to get really comfortable pretty much you know most of my flat ground tricks were there and then one day out of nowhere I had just got home from taking my daughter to school and I stepped out on my car and I heard a crunch in my leg and it hurt [Music] and then when I strained it out it like hurt more and I like God so that day I went in to my physical therapy and long story short he just told me hey idiot you're doing too much you're hit you're you know you're working out you're doing physical therapy and then you're going skating every day like you're doing way too much way too early you should not be doing this so for the past probably two months I stopped skating again and now just these past few days I started rolling around a little more again and my knee and leg is feeling better than ever [Music] [Applause] [Music] so right now I'm at the home stretch I'm at eight months and the doctor said at nine months I could skate all I want I don't have to think about it nothing I can just start getting back to myself like right now even though I'm kind of rolling around I'm very nervous very cautious very aware of what's happening so after nine months he wants me to wear a brace for three months but I can skate as much the one then after that so I could take the brace off and just hopefully in a perfect world by that three months back on my board just back to it back to myself filming skating just trying to get back in the mix so that's the hope that's the goal and that's what [Music] you [Music] on July 9th will be nine months and that it will be when I can skate again and I'm so happy it's still during the summer time we have a primitive trip planned to Europe at the end of July I'm gonna get back on the road team skate with the guys of course I'm still not gonna be 100% but just being in the mix and skating with the guys every day and skating new spots I feel is gonna be really really good mentally physically spiritually all that so what the most thing I'm looking forward to is like I don't know what it's gonna be or when it's gonna be but I can't wait to get my first clip on camera like street clip that I want to save you know what I mean like that is what I look forward to like for me I won't officially be back until I get some footage like good footage not just Instagram or whatever like something that I'm proud of and that I want to save then as soon as it happens then in my mind in my heart officially be back [Music]
