Recovery and Rehabilitation
Hello everyone,
August 29th 2021 I played my first show on bass w/ Cutthroat. While throwing it down
(As usual), I jumped off the stage and landed wrong. What I thought was a dislocation of the knee, ended up being something more severe. Unfortunately, I ruptured my patellar tendon. I was able to postpone surgery until after our short tour in Florida w/ Sworn Enemy, and a rad festival w/ Judas Priest & Soul Fly. With the help of a very well made German knee brace and pain meds, “THE SHOW WENT ON”!
On September 16th, I was able to have the procedure done to reattach my my kneecap to its rightful place. With a 6-8 week recovery time and rehabilitation following, I will be unable to get back to work anytime soon. The good news is my job will be there when I am back on my feet. Before things get to out of hand, any help would be greatly appreciated. I thank you all for the never ending love and support.
Update: 10/28/2021
10/15/21- Both the patellar tendon and incision failed. I woke up to this (pictured below) in the middle of the night and drove myself to the hospital. So this whole process is starting over again. Thank you all for the continued support, it means the world to me and I’m lucky to have you all in my life
