Update from the TDOT

Hey hey this is KD writing from the TDOT.

Well where do I begin... Once I got back from the Amazon (Brazil) I had no idea what I was doing with my life. I have been going back and forth from Ottawa to Toronto, from doctor to doctor and physio to physio to try and figure out what is wrong with me. My main focus has been on my hip.

In between trips to Toronto I have been helping out with the making of a video for my friend Patrick Waller. Pat was the first person to ever pass me a basketball so really if it was not for him I may not be doing what I'm doing today. After that first pass he told me “KD you are going to be a superstar one day”. What can I say... he thought highly of me back in the day. I decided to give back and help him produce this video for a contest to win the best job in the WORLD. Not exactly sure what all that entails BUT I am putting the link up on our website so that all of you can vote for him every day. The most votes wins. Help PAT live his dream like he helped me live mine.

Ok back to business. After the gruelling hours I spent on the making of Pat’s video I got told I had to go back to Toronto to get an MRA on my hip. An MRA is like and MRI but they inject you with dye before. Not a fun experience. I got this done yesterday and found out the results today...

Looks like I have a small tear in my labarum (cartilage that surrounds the hip socket) and a bump on the head of my femur. This seems to be the cause of my hip pain and lack of mobility. The only way to get it better is through surgery. I’m going to see a specialist this Wednesday to talk about surgery and where I’m going to do it.

Most likely I will have it done in Toronto so that I can work with “magic hands” Joan. And start training with Alisha once I get to her level. I’m Joan’s new roomie right now and Alisha may join in on the fun soon too. I will let you guys know more when I find out more. The good news is I should be a new woman when this is all said and done and I will be 100% by May.
