| Little Update~ |
|
My smart surgeon got his dates wrong and forgot his assistant won't be in on the date he gave me. So the surgery got pushed back to the 27th. :| That gives me more time before my 'normal' life stops.

From what the doc told me, they will shorten the inside ligament and move the knee cap attach on the tibia toward the inside. It should prevent the knee cap to move like crazy like it does now.| April 10th, 2008 |
| On My Knees~ |
|
So, so, so... Back in December, I was spraining my knee again... For the 3rd time. With one time on the right, it's 4 knee injuries in the past 10 years. Quite frustrating. This time, I went to the best places I could get. Fortunately, it's closer to my place and to my working place too so the insurances couldn't say anything. Out of this fine treatment and analysis, it was confirmed my knees morphology is crap. The inside tendons are too lose and my knee cap tend to move on the outside at the slightest wrong movement. So what I thought were knee sprains were in fact all knee cap dislocations. Well, "sub-dislocations" on the left knee since it goes back in place by itself and proper dislocation on the right knee since I had to put my leg straight for the knee cap to go back in place (yuck). After the conclusion about my morphology, I had to get confirmation I was part of the 80% crappy knee people who could get surgery. It has been confirmed Tuesday. Yes, surgery is an option. And the only one actually. Either the surgery or sitting on my butt for the rest of my life with no sport, no dangerous activity and a knee that tend to move too much even when simply walking. So know that I made up my mind and decided I will get surgery comes the tough path of finding out who will pay for the surgery. Because the problem is... It was an accident. So the accident insurance - Axa-Winterthur - should pay. BUT it's a morphology problem and without this problem there wouldn't be any accident... so it's up to the health insurance - Mutuelle Assurance - to cover the costs. And me and my knees are caught in the middle. Ô joie ! To be continued...

| I'm Officially Wiser... Or Maybe Not~ |
|
Last Sunday way my birthday. I hit the big 30. And I'm still alive. It was the occasion to gather some friends (Saturday night) and a part of the family (Sunday lunch). I think it's the first time in ages I officially do something to celebrate my birthday. Note that I would have skip it this year too if it was for my mom wanting to organize something at her place, my uncle who asked me a couple times what I was planning... So, since I was going to have something with my family, I could as well have something with some friends. I'm a bit shy so it's difficult for me to put myself in the middle of a bunch of people who are here just for me. Even if these are people I know. Receiving gifts is also a difficult part since I know everyone will be focusing on me and my reaction. But this time, it went pretty well. Saturday, I wanted to eat in this small Indian restaurant but being 12 people, they couldn't have us before 9pm. So I invited everyone at my place from 7pm for a drink before we all go to the restaurant. Doge & Titi, Swissknife & Zol (and their son/my Godson Aurel), Noémie, Sophie & Philippe and Talisker showed up. Felicia & Shini joined us at the restaurant. The food was excellent, as usual and the company was great. I just regret Zol had to leave because Aurel was cranky and wouldn't sleep. He's not used to noisy places yet. I received some presents too, it was really nice! Sunday was family day and the official day of my 30th birthday. We had a reservation at l'Auberge de Satigny with is a very nice place where you can eat pretty much whatever you want - from the cheap pizza to the fancy "pierrade". Were present: My uncle Patrick, his Regula, their three daughters, Laura, Tania and Judith, my cousin David, my bother, his girlfriend and my mom (all great people). We didn't have one of these stupid long table but a square table. So we could all see and talk with everyone. It was really nice! My uncle's family offered me some funny, some useful presents. My mom, bother and even my grandpa offered me what I wanted for years: A graphic tablet - the intuos 3 A4! I am extremely happy with that one! That is to be THE present of my 30th birthday. I took the Monday off so I was able to go and spend the voucher I had from my friends. I bought a load of drawing stuff! It was great! Tuesday, back to work. My colleagues had some presents for me too: two beautiful sketch books! And today... Well, there was this Valentine flash sale at my work... And I offered myself two very beautiful leather bags. One was CHF 75.- and the other CHF 150 (pretty much the same in USD). When I checked the retail price, I almost fell off my chair. They were at 585.- and 3'420.-! Wow! Talk about savings... I certainly know how to treat myself. Ha!
