About Me

THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY REHABILITATION.

THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF THE DAMAGE THAT I SUFFERED FROM THE INJURY: 3 TORN LIGAMENTS(LCL,ACL.MCL) 4 TORN MUSCLES(HAMSTRING,POPILTEUS,IT BAND,BICEP FEMORIS) CRUSHED COMMON PERONELAL NERVE.CLINCALLY I HAVE BEEN DOING VERY WELL..AND HAVE BEEN ON ROUTE TO A FULL AND HEALTHY RECOVERY.IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 1/2 MONTHS POST-OP AND I AM FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND READY TO PREPARE FOR THE DEMAND OF FOOTBALL. IN THE CFL CANADIAN I WAS SELECTED IN THE SUPPLEMENTARY ROUND TO THE TORONTO ARGOS AND WILL BE ATTENDING TRAINING CAMP ON MAY 29TH. AT THE CFL COMBINE I RAN A POOR TIME OF 4.74 AT 5 MONTHS POST-OP(ON FEILD TURF)AND AT SEVEN MONTHS IN A WORKOUT FOR TORONTO I WAS CLOCKED AT 4.5 AND A WEEK LATER WITH THE B.C LIONS AT A 4.34 AND 4.38 AND WAS FASTER STRAIGHT AHEAD THEN EVERYONE AT THE WORKOUT 2 WEEKS AGO.
