My head is going crazy right now, what to think about? What I'm I going to have to go through again? How long I'm I going to be off snow for? What does everyone is going to think of that? Do I need surgery? Should I quit? What I'm I going to do with my life?
Woooo, Come down Marie...

Anyway... So little update on my knee, it's swollen & it hurts when I walk on it, but it's already way better then it was yesterday and I can move around better & the pain had diminished.
So yea, when it first happened, my head wanted to explode cause of everything that I was thinking about... Yes it is a really stressful situation, especially when it's the third time that it happens... Injuries always sucks, You never know how to take them really... But one tip I can give you guys is
STAY POSITIVE
Whatever it is, I know it's really hard sometimes, But having a positive attitude can change a lot of things. And I'm talking about daily things, you can use your positive attitude in anything. Positive attitude helps to cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into your life and makes it easier to avoid worry and negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes into your life, and make it happier, brighter and more succesful. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth developing and strengthening. If you look at the bright side of life, you will see the difference, and not only you will, people surrounding you also will, if it's strong enough it becomes contagious.
So I've been trying to use this state of mind in my daily activities, my friend Matt Belair has been teaching me a lot about it and it has helped me in every little daily things that I do.
So I have been practising it intensively in the last 48 hours or s... Just trying to think about all the positive things that can come out of this situation. Surprisingly, I found a lot of positive in it...
This is the worst case scenario right now, but let's say, if I've got to get surgery on my knee again and that I can't snowboard for the rest of the season.... Well I've wanted to go travel forever... I'm talking about real traveling... Buy a one way ticket to somewhere warm & cheap, somewhere where I don't know anyone, somewhere where I can learn a new way of living, try new things, meet cool people, do things that I've never tough of doing before, learn a new language, learn to play guitar... all those things that I've wanted to do for so long, but that I never fond the time for...
So that's my worst case scenario of if things don't go too good with my knee. Doesn't it sounds awesome tho...
So now only time will tell whether I'll be snowboarding for the rest of the season or travelling...
