the Flying Fish leaped out of the water and hit the land [missing the water]

No extreme sports for me for a little while until I recover start to heal, bummer man, I just got back into the ocean, after 3 weeks of having an ear infection / swimmer's ear / too much ear wax, etc. During those 3 weeks, I felt like a flying fish that leaped out of the water and missed the water crashing into the land [not landing back in the water]. And now with a "sprained knee and ripped ligaments in the knee joint" with some major pain... I have to stay off my feet for the most part until I can tolerate standing on my feet comfortably.
