Everything happens for a reason!
Mid January, while I was in Alaska, i hurted my knee and had to have meniscus surgery in early February... The snow kept falling on the mountains, and here I was, not riding once again... Working instead, let me tell you that my 3 jobs kept me really busy for the past 2 months. Might as well work if there's nothing else I can do right now. Good time to pay off some debts and save up some money... I've always wanted to go travel, yes, I have been traveling in the past years but I mean real traveling...
Here I am now, only 15 days until it comes true and until the big adventure begins! So since I was injured, I then decided to change my plans completely and leave Canada to go travel all around south east Asia for a couple months. Only 15 days to go until I meet up with Steven on the other side of the world. How stoked I'm I? You don't even know! Let me tell you we're gonna have a time there! It's going to be an amazing trip that I will remember my whole life for sure.
We will be living out of our backpacks, traveling trough jungles and beaches.. what can I ask more... Traveling with an amazing person to an amazing place! Ill be the happiest little girl on earth really soon!
All this intense hard work will be all worth it once I'm there, That's all I can think about when I have to work from 5:30 am to 7pm almost 7 days a week... It keeps me motivated
MOTIVATION
sooo soooon!!!! :)

Today was THE BIG DAY!
So last Wednesday, I had an appointment with my knee doctor DR JP McConkey, just a couple days after I got back from Alaska. I'm not gonna lie but I was pretty convince that he was gonna tell me that something was wrong with my ACL.... I was ready for it tho... I kept a positive attitude the whole time while I was waiting for my check up tho.
So on Wednesday, when I finally got to see my doctor, I was really surprised and happy when he told me that my ACL was really strong and that it was probably just a meniscus injury. Such a release... It's such a great feeling when everything goes even better then you expected... I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep my expectations, I'm rarely disappointed then.
I was probably gonna have to pass an MRI and all but the waiting list for MRI's are high in whistler since injuries are not rare. So McConkey took a guess and decided that we were gonna skip that and go to the surgery right away since he was pretty certain that that's what was wrong in my knee. I totally trusted him, he's a knee specialist and has seen a lot so I totally agreed with him. Miraculously, he had an opening on the following Monday and was gonna be able to operate me right away!
February 6th, 12:00 pm, Surgery day
Today is the big day, I am so excited... most of my friends taught I was crazy cause I was excited about my surgery, but I know it's going to go well and can not wait to start recovering so why wouldn't I be excited? So I decided to do a spinal anesthesia instead of a general anesthesia... the recovery is a bit better and I get to watch the surgery! :D
So the anesthetist injected a needle with bupivacaine into my spinal cord, which got me frozen from my belly bottom down in not even a minute... I was trying really hard just to move a toe and nothing would happen, that's ok cause I don't want to feel whats gonna happen to me. The whole processes was pretty quick, I got to watch what they were doing to me from a TV that was hooked up to a tiny camera inside my knee, I'm not gonna go into to much details cause some people might not like it but it was definitely pretty cool to watch!
So in a time laps of 3 hours, I was in and out of the hospital with a fixed knee!!! Stoked, I'm feeling great, gonna be on crutches for a couples days but it's all good. Starting my recovery now! I'm gonna be back on my feet in no time, you watch! And better then ever!
