Finally

Well we FINALLY got our internet hooked up today so it's time to resurrect the floundering blog. All the furniture is in and we are just missing a few items such as lamps, pots and pans. The walls could also use a little decor, but overall it is a very very nice setup. It gets a bit hot with no AC, but it doesn't get humid here like on the east coast so it is actually rather pleasant.

As I'm sure most of you know, we have been very busy here getting our butt's handed to us in the last two games. There's really no other way to describe it. It's unfortunate because I really believe we have a great team with fantastic talent, but are playing way below our level. You just can't win when you have 10 turnovers in one game. Very very frustrating.

I didn't play last week, but came back for the game against Toronto. The knee is still very swollen, but the bruising on my leg is all but gone. It blew up a bit again after the game and was very painful while I was playing. It affected me quite a bit when I had to change direction due to the joint's inflexibility, but overall it was OK. I probably won't practice a whole lot this week as doing so irritates the joint and brings more fluid to the area. The team doctor believes it will be a few weeks before the fluid buildup completely disappears. I am still trying to talk them into aspirating the joint, but they are worried about an infection. I'm more worried about this thing never going down!
