two updates since the injury.

Oh, Now I understand. Not two today, but two since October 31st. Eevun, you are not a very reliable source to me anymore

From what I read it is not only the achilles but some cartilege problems. I believe the latter can be chronic, vis a vis Lambiel. Hopefully, it is just the acl and the prognosis is good. More info, please. he's too good to be hurting this way.

The International Herald Tribune ran a story on his surgery with this quote taken from his blog update:

A classy statement, and he's absolutely right - as an athlete you learn to push yourself, and it can be very hard to change that habit even when your body can't really take it anymore.

Oh, poor Dai, I really feel for him. He has the right outlook with regard to his health taking precedence, but what unfortunate timing for this to happen to him now. I really hope this pain for him is not long-term and that he is able to recover. I will greatly miss his skating.

I told you to check, 'cos I was in a hurry and not sure (I like the way our communication has taken, though we are in the same flat )

Here is the article that discussed the operation. Hopefully some Japanese fans can give us more details or translations later.

Perhaps someone will want to create a new thread for this news even.

He is a real champion. I wish a miracle for him so he can pick up where he left off.
