Tunnelissa takaisin

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Month ago I seemed to be finally at  the end of the looong tunnel, “everlasting” problems with my RIGHT ankle had been removed at last. New expectations, new high hopes…

Well after Friday’s little accident, I’m back in pitch black again! Yesterday I have undergone ankle surgery (LEFT), 2 torn ligaments. Now I have “Darth-Vader-plaster” stuck on my leg for 6 weeks, so hopefully by the end of January I’ll be walking normally… Oh yeah!!!

Definitely NO Jizerska 50, and I wonder whether I make it to Vasaloppet..

I just can’t leave it unmentioned…

If you don’t know Svihak, this should show what kind of guy he is. And if you know him, it just proves how he is…

mail from Svihak:
Hi dude, do you mind if I’d borrow your head-lamp?

Robert:
sure, no problem!

4.11.09

Time to fetch the lamp, pack it, so that I could hand it over to Svihak tomorrow (Thu). But it’s not where it used to be, I’m searching whole flat, but I just cannot find it! Calling people around to whom I’ve lent the lamp recently. Everybody seemed, that they had returned the lamp. I remember last time having the lamp was at 10MIla… Time to call Svihak :(

Robert: Hi, sorry dude, but I just couldn’t find the lamp so far… but I’ll keep searching. How badly do you need it? When is your race?
Svihak: Aha, well… the race is this weekend. OK, I’ll try to call somebody else.
R: Well, it looks that no one seems to be having my lamp. I remember having it at 10Mila, but then… Hey wait a minute, didn’t I lent you the lamp to Slovenia in June?
S: Yes, actually you did, but I returned it to Bohu.
R: Bohu, did Svihak gave my lamp sometime in June/July?
Bohu: Well, I don’t remember.
R: OK, Bohu doesn’t remember.
S: OK, I’ll have a look at my place anyway and I’ll let you know.

after a while SMS from Svihak: I have it :) So I’ll borrow it, OK?
R: OK :)

Yes, that’s Svihak!
