    That Sucks

    Hi Kevin
    Good luck with your operation. I am not religious but believe in energy so I will be sending you some get well vibes. (No I am not a Hippy) (actually I am a Republican, Ha ha). Hopefully all will go well. I hope this doesn't affect your balance, but I guess you could always do Drunken Mantis realy good if it does.

    Thumbs up Mantis is doing well

    I went to see Kevin in the hospital today. I conveyed all of your good wishes and he was touched. He is recovering and is in good spirits. The surgery took 7 hours so it was more intense than anticipated. He should be home soon and is looking forward to getting back to training. I am sure he will feel honored to know he has so much support from you all.
    Regards,
    Josh

    Thank You, Josh.

    Thumbs up Hi Josh

    Thank you very much for the update and thank God, Da Man is okay!

    I am glad that you gave him the messages. Thanks.

    BTW, please tell him that he better get well soon and get back to training or he's going to miss the super duper secret move that I am going to show him. LOL... just kidding, the man know way more than I do.

    Seriously, lots of things to catch up on.

    Warmest regards to him and you

    One week later and I am out.
    For the medical students here, the tumor was stuck to the ear bone(literal translation), and the doctor spent a lot of time scraping it off so that is why I was out for so long.

    When I came to, totally unlike waking up from sleep, my first natural instinct was to get up and fight.
    I don't know if that was a good thing or just too many cheesy MA flicks have polluted my brain.
    Don't worry the nurses were safe as they had my strapped to the table like Frankenstein.
    Any way, the case of vertigo was so bad I couldn't tell which way to move to lift my head off of the pillow and when I was finally helped to the bathroom I promptly heaved the remnants of my last meal.

    Bad news: Not only can I not train until the wound is healed, but I can't even sweat.

    Thanks all for the touching words.

    Great to have you back!

    Tainan,

    Excellent that things have gone so well!

    But sorry that you cannot train...

    however...

    So long as you cannot, you most certainly should keep the old kung fu grey matter at work. Hey, I just had an excellent idea. You should write another surperb article for the Mantis Quarterly!

    Glad I thought of it.

    Seriously, take care of yourself and rest. Get well soon.

    Sincerely,

    Steve Cottrell

    Glad to see you back, not even an operation can keep him away!
    Hope you recover quickly.
    Did it damage your hearing at all?
    Take care and take it easy for a while.
