Havok statedI’m absolutely gutted and heartbroken to be doing this but last Friday in Philly I suffered a knee injury, I got my MRI results back stating that l’ve torn my ACL and my meniscus along with some smaller issues going on in my knee and I will be needing surgery. There’s never a good time for something like this to happen and I know this but this one is a very hard pill to swallow. The setbacks l’ve had in wrestling always remind me to be grateful for what I have and that no part of this is a solo act. The support since I started has been strong and never dimmed, and for that l’m forever grateful. These things are tough, and it’s easy to think about what could’ve been and feel bitter and angry and sad but when I think of the experiences l’ve had, the community and support system I have and the people l’ve gotten to meet along the way I still feel lucky in wrestling. I don’t know what’s next for me but I can’t change the fact that I need surgery. Thank you for all of the love and constant support, AND REMEMBER be kind to people, follow your dreams, AND STAY FREAKING EMO.
