In the update \u00a0shared via social media today, July 24th, Heafy writes:<\/p>\n
Last Thursday | yesterday | today<\/p>\n
Nothing can stop us! My knee is already on the mend \u2013 the euro festival headliner run is still a go \u2013 not even a shredded meniscus can prevent us from sticking with our word, for our shogunate.<\/p>\n
I kept the injury quiet to not alarm anyone. But last Thursday my left knee gave out.<\/p>\n
Surgery was a big success.<\/p>\n
30-40% of my meniscus on the inner left was taken out.<\/p>\n
My meniscus was basically shredded there. Chronic. So it’s been going on for years.<\/p>\n
My initial 2009 injury fall + more and more wear and tear over the years. Obviously BJJ wear.<\/p>\n
But I’ll be good very quickly. I can start PT with my strength and conditioning coach Harry by Saturday, says sports resume 4-8 weeks from surgery.<\/p>\n
I feel great. No drug fog. Even as of last night.<\/p>\n
I’ll be good quick and will properly heal and strengthen the knee, and be back on the mats in no time.<\/p>\n
The Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic center under my (metal head) doctor was truly an incredible team of wonderful folks.<\/p>\n
Also. Trivium Chile found an awesome Crazy Train cover from my Twitch we did a ways back. RIP to the Prince of darkness.<\/p>\n
