For those who may not have heard, Constant was seriously injured in short track practice in Montreal on November 8. After stepping on a corner block, he went head first into the mats fracturing several vertebrae, tearing the muscles around them, breaking two ribs and a few teeth. Now sidelined for the season, we recently checked up on Constant to see how he's doing and got the following response:
I'm feeling better, moving a little better everyday. The doc said I shouldn't do anything for 6 to 8 weeks. But if I can just get on my stationary bike whenever possible, I will. I have a feeling that I'm gonna get through this fairly quick (positive thinking) lol. My short track season is definitely out, but I think I might be able to put on my long track skates before the end of the season. Long track is lot more safe, well, I think anyway. So, I'll let time tell me but I have not scratched the possibility of skating the worlds in Calgary yet. Of course I will not take any risk to damage myself even worse.
It's been two weeks now and I'm sooooo bored.
