  1. Hey everyone. Last Wednesday (Nov. 24th) I was playing hockey (not uni
    hockey, ice hockey)and i hit someone who was a lot bigger than me.
    neither of us fell, but unfortunately, I got a big pain in my rib area.
    I continued to play two more shifts, and the period was over at which
    point i decided the pain was too much and i took off my equipment and
    went to the hospital. I was eventually informed that i had mono and that
    made my spleen a lot larger than it should be and thats what led to the
    rupture that occurred when i hit the guy. i was just let out of the
    hospital today, but im not allowed to do anything active for 3 months.
    unfortunately that means unicycling too. so this really sucks, but for
    every street rider out there, make up new tricks and go bigger so i have
    something to make up for when im back. i should be ok to ride for TOque
    2005. thought id tell everyone.

    later, Kevin

    By the way street has been progressing you should have something new to
    learn.

    God bless

  4. oh man that sucks Kevin!
    Sounds like this hockey is dangerous, I think you should stick to
    unicycling 😉
    Anyway I hope you recover quickly and are back riding soon.

  5. Ouch! That's crazy. Several years ago, a classmate of mine actually
    died after a hockey game from an undiagnosed spleen injury. It was
    smart of you to get it checked out. Injury time is great for checking
    out other hobbies, like music, photography, art, etc. Good luck with
    your recovery!

  8. Sucks to hear that Kevin. I do have to say that I was shocked that the
    injury didn't involve a large flight of stairs.

    2 weeks in 'isolation' was a real boring.
    (and almost dieing was kinda freaky)
    But, I had alot of girls then (to visit me) 😄
    And, a very loyal friend 'crazy' guy that brought me 'contraban' 😄
    (he was committed to psych ward, last I heard,,, he robbed a gas
    station for cigs,,, and went to prison
    (multi offense kinda guy))

  15. pff, what do hospitals know. real men, by which i clearly mean
    unicyclists, don't need spleens. just ride and if your spleen starts
    hurting just remove it with your bare hands and then continue to ride as
    if nothing happened.

  16. Catch up on your video games and such... No activeness... My roomate
    got mono last spring, and she didn't rest enough, went out partying
    after a couple weeks... got sick again... felt better, went and
    partied... got sick again... Basicly what could have been only 3
    months recuperation has turned into 6 🙁

    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
