Welcome to the WASP Blogger page

Well we have been extremely busy with WASP since Christmas. Johanne, Melissa and I did a class at the Mount, I ruptured my calf muscle demonstrating a knee strike. It was pretty much a show stopper for me. I felt the muscle snap like an elastic band in my leg. Thankfully Johanne and Melissa finished class.

Rupturing my calf muscle made me think of the women in our case studies that survived being attacked but were injured and also about women who didn't survive as a direct result of an injury. If that had happened to me during an altercation I'm afraid i would have have been done for. The pain was just too intense. The only hope I would have would be if adrenaline kept the pain at bay while I tried to defend myself, otherwise it would be over. It sure is a helpless feeling.
