Letting Secrets out of the Pentagon...
Well, that is what my Don's calls me.
Soooo.....as to why I've been MIA.
1. I needed to diffuse; I just needed down time to 'chill' and relax to get my real life sorted out.
2. I am currently the financial support for my home. I have been for sometime and was very disheartened at something that was said to me at Spring Crown tourney, so I decided to take a break from the SCA and focus on my family obligations for the summer.
3. What was said to me at this past Spring Crown tourney - yes from a reliable source and no I will not tell whom. Quote, "Some people have voiced concerns about you (meaning me) attending their events because they are afraid that you will fall again and then sue that shire / barony." Yes, this was said to me and I only told a few individuals about this. I thought about what was said to me and decided that I should just take sometime off from the SCA so that I would not cause any negative feelings toward the current King and Queen and my household.
4. My leg......let me say this. Yes, I am involved in some legal matters that I cannot discuss. This is my business and my business alone. I currently have outstanding co-pays for my treatments, hospital stay, and physical therapy to pay for out of pocket. I've had my life upheaval and changed forever because of this accident. How you may ask? I was to receive my degree last December, instead I completed school in May. I was going to apply to be a Federal Marshal - well that is now not possible now. A person has to apply before their 37 birthday; my b-day is in October, I'll be 37. HAVING A TITANIUM PIN AND 2 SCREWS IN YOUR LEG WILL NOT LET SOMEONE PASS THE PHYSICAL. Up until today, I was understanding that I would never jog or run or move quickly again. My left knee buckles and is in constant pain. I can push through the pain and I've been working out as much as my leg would let me. I went to my Dr. today to ask for a brace so that I can start riding and fencing again with out worry of my leg giving out. WELL, guess what; I have to go for an MRI because I probably have torn meniscus from the accident a year ago.
So I know everyone who is on this list does not think that I am being a money grubbing bitch. My life has been changed forever and I am changing with it and it hurts and pisses me off when people WANT to be catty and judgmental about something they know nothing about. For the last year I have had to work hard to get up everyday and not just give up because of the pain; fear of not walking again; fear of not riding my motorcycle again; what career choice that I am going to have now; and to try to be positive. My friends who have been helping have been my support for this and I thank them every chance that I can get. But right now I'm just PISSED OFF. I will probably have to have surgery AGAIN and have to stay in physical therapy longer......so for anyone who thinks that this has been some sort of 'skate' year for me and I'm in it for the money....please quote me, "Fuck off and mind your own business," and then send them me............
