忍耐 + 掌握人生
Last Minute Dilemma
Tomorrow, I will be flying to Japan to experience the Golden Week atmosphere in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan.
Since the National Championships in Perth 1.5 weeks ago, I have allowed myself to rest and recoup new energy after several hectic months trying to fit in training and work. I have only trained two times since Perth, with the last one on Monday.
That training, however, may be my last vigorous training in full bogu for some time, for my left hand was in pain after receiving a powerful taitari in the final 30mins free jigeiko of Monday's keiko.
Recommended by my G.P., I was referred to do an x-ray and ultrasound scanning examination.
And Today, I found that I have near complete rupture of the carpometacarpal ligament at the base of the 5th metacarpal.
******************REPORT******************
ULTRASOUND LEFT HAND
There is a defect in the carpometacarpal ligament between the hamate and the 5th metacarpal. There may be a few fibres remaining traversing the space but the appearance is in keeping with near complete rupture of this ligament.
Appearance is otherwise unremarkable. Tendons in this region appear intact. No focal collection is demonstrated.
X-RAY LEFT HAND
No fracture or dislocation is demonstrated.
COMMENT
No bony injury is apparent but the ultrasound demonstrates near complete rupture of the carpometacarpal ligament at the base of the 5th metacarpal.

Kyoto Taikai? 8 Dan Sensei? Asa Keiko? Ligament Rupture?? Arghhhhhh!!!

The G.P. today told me that it will take about 6-12 weeks for the ligament to heal.
I will visit a sports musculoskeletal specialist on the Wednesday after I come back from Japan.
Hopefully, I can train before the National Team Selection Trial.

Nice Eddie! It is always exciting to see kendo in action in Japan. (well, actually it is interesting to watch kendo anywhere :P )

Thanks Rainier. It will be a couple of weeks before I can start using my left hand in kendo. I hope I will be able to come back to full jigeiko soon.
Today is 8 Dan shinza in Kyoto. I am going to trek out with Michael Komoto to see watch a few friends in action.
