Heck, I do not believe it.

Had a freak accident, have a little crack in a bone in my foot, and it hurts something rotten.
The worst thing is, though, that I can forget my grading on Sunday.
I will now have to wait until around Christmas to get my brown belt with red stripe.
I am beginning to believe someone up there has got it in for me.

Not good Dude.

Some of us are accident prone, and like you, i am always hurting myself, Cutting myself with a knife (or more recently a cheese grater), but what you have to remember is the mind is stronger than the body, keep up ther good work, stay focused and you will get through sooner or later.

Thanks for the comforting words, chaosdesign.
It is, of course, still very unfortunate that it had to happen now of all times.
(Haven't got enough on my plate).
One consolation, though, by the time the next grading comes I will have had ample opportunity to train hard and perfect all my required techniques to a level as high as possible.
