I was on the job collecting evidence when a junkie's needle punctured my glove and drew blood. Great thing is he has hepatitis C. Not sure who else was shooting up there (injecting synthetic meth also known as bath salts as well as subutex and heroin), so the possibilities of disease transmission knows no bounds. All my baseline bloodwork was negative, but I knew that already. So, now that I can't do standup or really roll, what do I do for the 6 months until I know if I am clear or not? All I can figure is that I could finally buy a dummy with all the gym dues I'll be saving and drill some moves.
I won't risk going to any gym until I know I am clear. I have seen way too many people bleed in the gym and hep c is passed from blood to blood. Stand up is over except for drilling and just bag work, which I can do in my basement. Figures, I had finally just dropped the 12 pounds I needed to lose for 8/3/13 for naga. I was really looking forward to rolling with people my age and experience level to see where I stood at. Had august all planned out too.
It is going to be hard to stay motivated, heck, its hard thinking about the possibilities.
I didn't post here for a boohoo poor me, I want some advice from other grapplers on what to do, maybe how I should plan things. I am not a spring chicken and a 6 month layoff would be detrimental. Kinda torqued a bit at the non response from some of the people I texted at the gyms I go to. Non response means avoiding issues. Tell me to go fuck off till I am clear, I can take it I'm a big boy. We can kick, knee, elbow, and punch one another, try to break each other's bones or choke each other unconscious, but can't answer a text message.

That is what I would do. I'd probably make my husband or dog be my grappling dummy if I couldn't get my hands on one.
