Master Evins it was great to see you today.. My heart has been heavy for you.. you and your family have been and are in my prayers.

Sparring class. Started good, ended, well not so. I am so aggrevated at myself for a lousy blocking job. Sometimes i feel like I am getting better then I have stuff like today happen. I took a blow directly in my pancreas area, felt like something inside ripped.. I am not quite sure what happened but it dropped me to my knees. Was almost 20 minutes before I could stand up straight. The pain has not eased yet and is radiating into other areas... wow.. i am ready for this to stop. Even still, I missed a block, or didnt get out of the way, or allowed myself to be in harms way. I have REALLY got to work on that. I have enough troubles, I certainly dont need to add more. !!!
