Fifteen minutes or so after this image was made, I fell and acutely ruptured my patella tendon and luxated my patella as well. It took over an hour to shuffle backwards, a few inches at a time, to the start of the trail and from there another few hours until I was seen at the ER.

 

It's been a little over eight weeks since that moment, and I've already manged a number of shorter hikes with my brace on. Today, my physical therapist let me get on the exercise bike. I call that progress.
