Wow!

That is crazy. Get well soon Cale. I hope to see you shredding even harder once you are 100%.

It looks like they tried multiple times to set the pin in your big toe. Are all those other holes supposed to be there?

Take care and heal well.

Andrew

Aw man, those pics are whack! What were they doing to your big toe? Was it like on of the doctors daughters birthdays, and he let her play pin the pin on the big toe? Or did they do the surgery blindfolded? Anywho, get well soon kid, hope to see you soon.

icky.. how bad does it hurt?

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 05 May 2008 17:47

i have pain killers three times the power of vicoden... so not a whole lot, but a little like my foot is constantly being sat on by a very fat man... just numb, with alot of somewhat painful pressure. thats how id describe it.

hey yogan... teeshirts?

its a hania bag lol. i did this in paint.

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 06 May 2008 21:19

You did that in Paint? Did you use your laptop? And if so did you use a track pad or a mouse? Either way, thats pretty cool. I am totally up for the idea of making shirts or jerseys. I think it would be a great way to legitimize our sport when we play out in public. I would love to collaborate with you further on the shirts. So send me a PM if you have any other ideas, and I'll give you feedback and stuff. We're making shirts! We need more shirts!

i.have.too.much.time.

that foot looks gnarly!!! jeeeeeeeez!!!

it makes me want to write things in your blog that you probably wouldn't like, like lots of cursing

I hope it's worth it! what's wrong with your foot, anyway?

Do you get to miss school for like a month because of this? How do your parents feel about you playing footbag after so many foot surgeries? Don't answer if you don't want to, I'm just curious

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 07 May 2008 12:46

well, im missing this whole week... but i think im going back next week. im getting my g.e.d this summer, so it doesnt really matter anyways. do you have msn messenger emily? thta would be cool to chat on.

my parents like that i play footbag. its not physically detrimental to my foot... if anything it helps strengthen it and gain flexibility. so theyre happy with this hobby.... but my mom gets mad whenii want to go to green cup anywyas despite it being in san fran, and me being just out of surgery

did you take pics of that fabric yet?

Moxie · Post by **Moxie** » 07 May 2008 12:55

I'm doing it tonight, thanks for the reminders though.

You know I need them.

It's so nice that your parents like footbag, you should be glad for that. My parents really disliked it for a very long time, but I don't think they care as much anymore.

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 09 May 2008 13:23

my fabric came from fields already! im so excited. im gonna make loads of bags, i have soooo many ideas buzzing thorugh my head right now for bags.

emily, did you get my last email?

yogan... i gues thats fine. why are you taking voice lessons anyways?

i have to make a new hex template, i lost my last one. this might prove to be difficult since the last time i checked the template generator was down... but ill find a way.

my foot is doing pretty good i guess.. im able to get around my hose on crutches, though its sort of awkward. i cant wait to rent my wheelchair for school. my armpits hate me.

stay tuned all... the next post in my for sale will be a pic of a bunch of awesome awesome bags!!!

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 10 May 2008 13:50

i started stitching a bag and realized the new hex template i made was waay to small. so i just made a new one, and its looking alot better. unfortunately, i already cut out two bags of hexes.... butthats alright ill save them for when i feellike making a supermini or something.

i love my fabric! ultrasuede is so cool. ive got some great color combos. just you all wait.

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 20 May 2008 21:36

so, here i am. im still in a splint, but its alot better than that ace wrap horror you see above. i got stitches out of my calf incision, its healed. but i still have the stitches on top of my foot. it will be awhile till i can play. god, i hope i can still play after all this is through.

ive been stitching so crazy. i have 8 bags as of now.... one is a wicked prize bag. i am hoping to seel most if not all at green cup, which i will most likely go to. i really want to go.... my mom is afraid that aaron will fall asleep driving.... but i know he wont. so well see. fingers crossed, hardcore. the bags i have:

-active green/saffron atomic. large
-brown/splash soccer. large
-green grape and flash red soccerball. medium size.
-rainbow bag. medium size
-custom design bag. medium size.
-tulip and baby blue soccerball. medium size.
-stone grey and petit pois/flash red/imperial blue/saffron soccer. small.

-and the sacred, perfect prize bag: country cream and black noir soccerball with one active green pent in honor of green cup. though i might make a solid active green bag by the event ;]

i hope to see you all there, ill know for sure tomorrow.

on the note of what im hitting.... some insane stuff in my mind. ive been picturing hitting ps whirls, superflys, ripsteins and flurrys. ive been way better lately while ive not been playing ;]
