I'm giving up on receiving my black belt at least this year. I will get there when it's ment to be.

Like Criss says "Nobody knows the Future ." I don't either. I will not give up on my karate but I'm going to take some of the presure off myself. I have come quite a wayz so to speak in the last year and a half. I still have a way to go too. I have cut down my class time and started strength training for my back. My sacrum bone goes out a bit too much, especially in Geri form. The muscles holding it in place where weekened by my tumors so I need to build them back up. I know I can defend myself as can anyone regaurdless of their physical abilities but as always I want it to be more. The physical is my weakest star and in need of strengthening so I'm going to take the time to so and to continue to practice and refine the things I have.
I also have some of my previous sypmtoms creeping up again so their is a possibility of one more pesky little guy (tumor) but I will hold off on doing anything with him for a while. I have had enough surgery thank you & need to heal for a bit first. I know if I do he's not cancerous just like the others so no need to hurry or worry. I will still call the doctor though and let him know what is going on. Also follow my special diet which I will be honest in saying sucks by the way!!!!!!
Anyway I might not be on here as often do to my walking and exercise regement but I 'm addicted so I have to stop in once in a while just to see what is up with all of you wonderful people. What would I do with out my loyal family, my Sanchin Ryu family or Criss telling me to keep believing. Thank you all for being such a wonderful & positive influence in my life.
Take Care!
