I made it out with just this tiny cut.

Tue, 2010-07-06 16:03 — Scotty

I made it out of surgery ok. It took about an hour longer than they expected, because there was so much to clean up, mostly bits of disc material.

I spent the next two days in the hospital. The fun started right when I woke up. I jumped awake and grabbed the nurse's arm so hard that I almost pulled her in the bed with me. This startled her a bit and she gave out a bit of a scream.

Hey people, thoght I'd start by saying bollox, it may seem strange to start a blog with that, but everyone in Brazil asks me: Hey Jack, what do you think of England in the World Cup and my reply has been bollox! Those guys get payed in a month more than I have earned in my whole 7 years of pro MMA and they played like crap..........so bollox. I support Brazil now, but I really would like them out the World Cup also so things would go back normal, less horns, and silly wigs.

Today is the day I get my back cut open and disc parts taken out.

Wed, 2010-06-30 10:27 — Scotty

This is going to suck! But got to get it over with!

Today is the Day! I am going in to the hospital for my back surgery today. I am far from happy about it though. It is a really depressing and frustrating situation. We got so much going on at OTM these days, missing any time is just awful.

I am even missing the great Gumby's bachelor party!

One of the huge problems is that I can't travel for 6 months. ACK! That is a lot of fights and tournaments to miss out on. And, I already missed out on Pac Sub in Hawaii.

One good thing about being handicapped!

Since i cant walk every good and my back is all jacked up i have gotten a few perks out of the deal. This weekend while flying up to see the famous Dr. Pete who works on all the top fighters and sports athletes i had a Dr's note that let me get on the plane first. It was great!

Dr. Pete is a great guy and really helped me stand up straighter and improved my posture. I suggest you go check him out if your in LA or San Francisco.

OMG, Tracy Lee gave me Stage Fright!

Fri, 2010-06-25 09:41 — Scotty

I went to take a piss at the Built To Fight warehouse and just as I was about to relieve myself, I noticed Tracy Lee from www.CombatLifestyle.com about to snap a pic of me! This kind of pressure of course is stressful. I almost couldn't stand the pressure, but the pressure was to much and I finally got it all out. Tracy how did the pic turn out? Is that a wide angle?
