Heya Plan9!
Nice to see you back .... sucks when an injury can mess with your job like that. Hope you get back into the swing of things soon.
What kind of workouts did you do while healing? I guess any type of running would have been a little jarring. You focus on leg strengthening and stationary cardio (bikes etc..)?
I cracked a rib earlier in the summer myself, during a sparring match with a 6'5" 220lb guy, who happens to be on the Canadian Jiu jitsu team! Had fun, but once the adrenaline wore off, I could barely take a hug from my girlfriend for months.
Hope to see more 'direct and honest' replies in this forum in the future
