round

 What's round at both ends and high in the middle?

Ohio?

No, you'd be wrong to think that......

A circular walk starting from my house and going up a hill, of course is the correct answer.

So that's what i did.

It's the longest walk i've managed since that fateful day on June the 8th when the dog broke my tibia ..... the swinehund!

I finally made it back to ground zero.... the very spot, in the very field, in which the impact changed the course of my career, year, probably life, to an extent....  i stood there and looked at Dawn at the other end of the field, and as she unclipped Sookie (the dog) from her lead and the dog ran toward me, i grimaced and turned around to protect myself in case she ran into me AGAIN!  (i figured if she ran into the back of my knee then at least it is meant to bend that way?)

I have to admit.... standing there and letting the dog recreate the moment was pretty terrifying, but i've done it now, and the spell is broken.....  i've faced it and can move on.....

My leg's a bit sore now.....

Took six and a half months to get back there but here i am looking my usual surly self at ground zero!

  1. Well done and congratulations to facing your fear. Also to Dawn, and maybe Sookie for setting the scene. Welcome back.

  3. That's a nice picture of the current "you". You should use it to update your profile picture of a rather different, younger Jason. Well done on finishing the long, circular walk. It has been a journey and a half through the past six months.

  4. Well done on facing your fear and exorcising you demons. I have a similar fear to conquer very soon.
