Injured Foot

Age is something none of us can fight or even run away from and it would seem mine is catching up to me. I would laugh when I’d hear my friends talk about their back pain or leg pain or whatever and just say “I guess I’ve got good genes or something” cause none of those things bother me.

Well it would appear that my luck has run out. Back in November the week before Thanksgiving I smashed my foot while playing with my youngest. A doctor friend of mine would later tell me that I shattered the bones in my foot. Thankfully we were going on Thanksgiving break so I took the rest of the week off and then spent most of the week of Thanksgiving laid up in bed icing and doing everything I could just to get myself the ability to walk again and it worked I was able to hobble around and by the second week of December it was a pain I could manage.

Not saying I have some sort of superhuman strength or anything just a stubbornness that I didn’t want the show to suffer anymore than it had by all the time off we had taken already. In radio reputation is the name of the game and if you say you’re going to be there you have to be there it’s something I take very serious. I do not like missing a show for anything so surgery just wasn’t a possibility. When you’re building something and repairing your reputation you go all the time for it. There are no days off is what I mean.

I’ll be damned if my foot wasn’t getting back to normal and my dumbass re-injured it. Thankfully it had healed enough from the initial break to where this time it isn’t as bad but putting on a shoe or moving at my normal pace is just not happening. I refuse to miss the return of our shows which begin January 8, 2024. This will be my 25th year radio and my 15th year hosting my own show so there is no time off for me.

So if you see me around town give me time to catch up as it seems that age has caught up with me and I’m having to go a little slower…at least until my foot heals completely.

Y’all be good! ✌️🤘🤘
