I'm not dead yet!

I haven't forgotten about this blog. It's still on my mind and I want to finish talking about my trip, but I'm having a really, REALLY hard time writing about my knee. Whenever I start to think about it, I have a visceral reaction, and can almost feel what it felt like to have my knee collapse. It's a terrible feeling and I know I'll get over it, but in the meantime... yeah, I'm still working on getting over it.
