Hey, fam.
I just...
I just got back from the Orthopaedic and the doctor confirmed that I...
I tore my ACL.
It's hard because I...
I love playing soccer/football.
I love to work out.
I like walking around and creating videos.
I can't do that right now.
So recently, I played a football and it's in a rec (recreation) league
And there was a loose ball and I went for it.
I got the ball before the other guy did and...
and right after I went through, he went for the ball too.
And because I got it sooner, he got my leg.
It was an accident. I'm not blaming him.
Completely accident.
But then my knee went inwards. I felt... I heard a 'pop'.
I was in excruciating pain for like 10 minutes.
It was horrible.
All the players had to calm me down.
But the funny thing was, you know, they carried me off to the side
and over time like 15, 20, 30 minutes later, my knees started feeling better.
And I'm like, "You know what? It's not too bad"
and then I got up and... Felt like I could go back and play.
But then I thought to myself, "You know what? It's okay. Let's just rest now"
Before I left, my teammates were telling me, "Go. Just go get a check. Go get an x-ray".
You know, you don't know what's wrong.
And even if nothing's wrong, at least you know that you're okay and you can play safely.
So I took their advice.
I was like...
I'll go get an x-ray.
And I got an x-ray the same dates out at urgent care.
The x-ray showed there was no fracture.
Nothing was broken, but there was a lot of fluid in my knee area right here.
So they referred me to an Orthopaedic.
I was like...
That's fine. Let's go.
You know, just to make sure and get it checked if anything's wrong.
Then, the following day, I... Just earlier, I went to the Orthopaedic and...
I walked in.
It was funny like during an urgent care before, they even offered me crutches.
This is the first day...
And I told them, "Nah, I don't need crutches. I feel fine. I can walk and I'm hobbling".
But the next day, today, I...
The pain was bad. I go see the Ortho.
He does some tests and...
he looks at me and said, "I'm so sorry to tell you that you tore your ACL".
I was so shocked.
I was shaking
because like I can't believe it.
It's feeling better. Like how is that possible, right?
And I mean I already... Like today I already struggling to walk.
But on the first day, I just started feeling better.
So anyway, I...
I asked the doctor like, "Hey, are you 100% sure?"
Like is there a chance when we do the MRI, that it's just a sprain or something.
He's like, "Logesh, I've done this for 30 years. I can confidently tell you, you tore your ACL".
We'll still have to do an MRI to check the extent of it.
So in the next few days, I will be scheduling an MRI.
But...
It's going to be a long... long time before I can play again.
Do anything.
You wanna do something special, Zae Zae?
You wanna help daddy record? Go press the red button.
So if you want, you can see yourself.
I don't want.
You don't want it? If you don't want, it's okay. Turn it off.
Who's that, Zae Zae?
Oh my god.
The injured warrior.
Oh my god.
Thanks for bringing food over.
Oh my god.
Oh my goodness.
Good to see you. Good to see you. Yeah.
So cute, like elf.
Well, thank you guys so much for bringing over food.
You're welcome.
You got it. You got it. Use that CrossFit.
I am the new camera person. So... Camerawoman.
So blame all the terrible videography on me.
Wow!
Mike and Janet brought us some Malaysian fried rice.
Yes. Yes. All right.
And her special spring rolls from scratch, right?
Yes, from scratch. Everything's from scratch.
Even madeleine too. Madeleine, yes.
You all fancy, man. You all fancy.
Ky Ky. Look at him. He brought his plate. He's ready.
Oh my goodness.
You want to eat too? Okay.
So you guys, have you guys seen our new addition to the Kumaar family?
No.
This is it. This is our curry leaf plant.
Do you wanna hear something crazy about this plant?
You're supposed to feed it yogurt and masala chai.
I never know that
The guys literally said feed it yogurt just once a month and masala chai once a month
You mean the yogurt that we eat?
Yeah, just plain yogurt.
Your curry plant is better than me.
But do you want to know its name? I named it.
What name?
Her name is Stephanie.
Yeah, her name is Stephanie but she goes by Steph for short,
so her name is Steph Curry.
That is my pun for the day. Steph Curry.
Thanks so much you guys for coming over.
Thank you for having us.
Thank you, Mike. Thanks for bringing food.
I'm taking a breath.
That dance party took a lot out of you. It wore my wife out.
Anytime you guys want to bring food over, you're welcome.
Yeah, okay. Sure. Sure.
Thank you. Thank you.
Logesh, see you. Bye. Bye. Thank you.
Bye. Thank you.
Thanks Janet for everything. Yeah. Bye.
See you next week, okay? Okay.
I feel like I've... accepted the fact that you know this has happened
and I just got to go on with life.
I'm just thankful that I have a really good support system.
My wife has been amazing. She's been helping out so much.
The kids, I think they are slowly grasping what's going on but...
I guess in time they'll know I can't play much with them and stuff like that.
Also I... This is... Today is day...
Day zero is Sunday.
Today's day four. Today's Thursday.
On... Oh, that's cold.
On...
On Monday, I'm gonna be doing my MRI
and...
on Tuesday, I will be seeing the doctor again to kind of determine what the next steps are
which most likely is going to be surgery.
But they already got me doing exercises
which is something they call pre... Prehab? Prefab?
Something like that. Yeah.
And I put this out on social media and Instagram and Facebook and stuff
And man I've been showered with so much messages.
Thank you guys so much. Like those words mean a lot.
Like every single words of encouragement means so much to me.
So thank you guys for that.
Besides my family and friends around here, like Janet and Mike, you know.
You guys also play a part and help me through this.
So I appreciate that.
Thank you.
