Ok well a few weeks ago I met this guy at an ICF event. This week I start training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and mix that with some army combatives (he is a level 3 instructor as well). I am hoping this will add to my cardio/wt training and help me get even more fit, pass my PFT and allow me at least one MMA fight. (yes you heard me I know Im old) But I have alot of anger that needs worked out lol

Ok so I went to have my appointment with the doc. This is what she said about my hernia. "Well going into the abdomen can cause things like adhesions and if we think its not so important to do surgery then we opt to not to" … they dont want to fix my hernia and she doesn’t believe the pain/swelling im having is from the hernia … back to the beginning I go … what the heck is causing it then

 Then we talk about my right knee giving out on me. And she says, "at your age and activity level many people live with ACL tears and we would probably just do therapy and strengthen that leg and again opt to not do surgery.

OH COME ON!!! My activitiy level!!! I play volleyball and racquetball, I ride horses and a motorcycle. I run and PT with the Army. So Im going to fight until they fix them or they let me go out and get it fixed by a civ doc.

Im so irritated. But good news is … IM BACK IN THE GYM!!!

Ive been upset over what I thought was stubborn belly fat and here i had a hernia. Well I feel a little better now. I was beginning to think that I was just not working out hard enough. But I was it just couldn’t show with my ‘guts’ hanging out lol

So Im excited to have my surgery and get the abs I want!!!

Its a hernia!! So I have to try to get the surgery all scheduled and get this taken care of. Its driving me crazy withall this swelling!!!!

well the CT results are in but my doctor is on vacation GRRRRR!!!! Ive been so busy lately I haven’t been on much. Last night I got to work the MMA fight in Cincinnati. Went with the Army recruiters to make up a drill I missed. Boy I had a great time. Met some new great friends. And Im ready to train and fight LOL Too bad Im too damn old Its just about warm enough to get the bike out woohoo … come on sunshine!!!

 I hope to find out this week about my CT scan. I will keep you all informed.

Still no results from my CT scan. Im going to chew all my nails off waiting. Just waned to keep everyone up to date. I have had alot of you ask me. I promise I will post my results just as soon as I know. I hope they can figure out the cause of my swelling/pain.
