Man, I go away for a little bit and come back to see that you've got a possibly busted knee (hopefully it isn't, however). Still, if it needs surgery, it may as well be now while you're relatively young. The last thing you want is to have it bugging you well into old age. So, let's hope that it's just something that goes away in a fairly short time. I want to see more videos of you doing flips, the worm, etc, etc, in the future!
I can speak to you about this from experience. Well, not my personal experience, but the same thing happened to my brother. He runs A..LOT. and one time he was out for that long and his knee was killing him so bad he couldn't go to work for a week and he never misses work, but the same thing happened and I mean, it was all good. Don't let your anxiety take over your mind. Your mind is your best enemy and when you start thinking about things too much, it actually becomes reality! Like, I have really bad anxiety and if something is wrong with my throat, I always jump to the worst case scenario and then it ends up getting worse u__u But come on bro, just be confident, and if you have good faith, it'll all work out in the end
Hey, all the best athletes get knee surgery at one point or another. If you end up needing it, there's no shame in that.
Still, if you're mostly okay now, there's also the likelihood that they'll go "there's a little bit of something there, yeah, but you probably don't have to worry about it until later."
So let's just cross that bridge when we get there, hey?
Oh, it's not the surgery itself that scares me. It's the fact that I'd have it done to me, and have the possible debilitation of having knee surgery that scares me.

*pats* At least you're doing the right thing. If you need the surgery and you have the means to do it, then why not? You'd probably be put to sleep during it anyway, right?

Eep. I seriously hope for you that that's not the caseD:
Sounds pretty nasty to me...O_O
So let's hope your knee's alright.... Best of luck tomorrow!
Oh, and I agree, you shouldn't worry so much about it now, you'll hear about it tomorrow:3 So just try to distract yourself ok?:3
Take care!

I'm sure it's not going to be like that. I mean, I haven't gotten to see you flip yet, so it can't. ;D
You're probably just over thinking things and it'll all be okay!
I can understand why you're really worried (I'd be like that too) but try not to think about it so much, after all there's really nothing you can do about it right now, so no point in scaring yourself silly, okay? Yes, I know I sound like a prick. . .>>;;

It'll be fine, try not to think about it too much, distract yourself with something else. I know it's better said than done but I know you could do it, you're Kastom after all. :)
Best thing you can do is just try to relax, take deep calm breaths, and distract yourself. If you worry over it, the situation will get worse. There's several athletes out there that still do the things they love even after knee surgery.
Six-year-olds and nuclear weapons: a combination that just can't be beat.
I'll tell you something about the worst case senario... my Oma had double-knee surgery at seventy-five because she had been going without knee cartilage for YEARS. Most people who have knee surgery only have one done at a time and are holed up in hospitals for months between the initial recovery and the rehab period. Oma was out of the hospital by a month and didn't need a walker or a cane six weeks later. If a woman in her mid-seventies can do it, you can friggin' do it. You're Kamina, man. Kamina!

And in case you do need surgery...

You should play Literati to take your mind off of things *whistles*
But I'm with the others in hoping it's nothing serious and that you won't need to worry 'bout it :)

But it's much better to - if it comes down to this - get the surgery and go through the rehab then to have it totally ruin you later on down the road.
'cause that would suck.
