May 9, 2012 rebunting

I went back for my second Krav Maga class last night. Really, it's quite a workout: I was sweating and breathing heavily after just a few minutes of warm up exercises, which is not generally something that happens in kickboxing. We covered a number of drills last night, all of which were excellent and invigorating.… Continue reading the heart is hard to translate

therefore we must suffer

February 21, 2012 rebunting

I started running again. When I was in high school, I ran track for a single season. I ran hurdles - poorly - and it hurt. I ran for exercise, but not super regularly. It's been a long time since I've run for fitness. And I started again last week. I'm embarrassed by how out… Continue reading therefore we must suffer

kicking ass and taking names

September 30, 2010 rebunting

Last week, I started taking kickboxing classes. This was me immediately before class #1 started: Tonight was my third class. I have learned how to jab, cross, hook and uppercut, as well as roundhouse, front and side kick. I love to roundhouse kick - it reminds me of a poem Donna wrote about action heroes… Continue reading kicking ass and taking names

I went back to the orthopedic surgeon this morning for what turned out to be my final evaluation: I was released!After a brief exam this morning, the Good Doc sent me for an x-ray (I was unfortunately unable to snap pics of this one - so sad). The x-ray was quite beautiful, actually - the… Continue reading Rachel ne porte pas la botte.

overdue update

January 5, 2009 rebunting

I went back to the orthopedic surgeon today, who removed the splint and the staples from my leg - he was pleased with the progress, and gave me a moon-boot style removable walking cast. This is much better, as I can now take a real shower (though I'm using a shower chair, like a little… Continue reading overdue update

December 25, 2008April 3, 2012 rebunting

So on Tuesday night, as I was settling in to wrap presents, I did this: (that's my foot, btw. Left foot. Broken tibia and fibula.) After a few hours in the ER, some good pain killers, and a little manipulation by the Nurse Practitioner, it looked like this: She did a fairly good job of… Continue reading merry christmas to you!
