Yes, yes I've been terrible at keeping this blog updated, but now is as good as time as any to update it, especially with so many friends leaving Taiwan recently.
To get people caught up since the last post, I've traveled to the Philippines for some scuba and beach time with friends in January, then to Texas to see friends and family for a wedding in February and March, before heading back in June/July for another wedding.
Right before my trip in February, I met a wonderful girl who I absolutely adore. It was an amazing 5 months, but sadly she headed back home to finish her degree in mid July. Even though it's only been 3 weeks, it's felt like forever. We're committed to each other and doing the long distance thing - something I don't think I could have done in the past without the technology we have today (Skype, FaceTime, iMessage, whatsapp). Although even without the technology, she's definitely worth waiting for.
Currently, I'm in a cab headed to the hospital to get my knee checked out. I was playing flag football yesterday, and when trying to go around the defeder to sack the qb, I planted my left leg to cut back inside and felt my knee give out and heard a pop. I immediately crumpled down in pain and lay on my back fearing the absolute worst. Strangely, it was no where near as painful as the 1st time I tore my ACL 9 years ago, yet I heard a definite pop. I went home and did the typical treatment of rest, icing, compressing and elevating the knee, and I think that may have helped a bit, as when I woke up this morning, it was not as painful to put pressure on it as the previous night. Through some friends, I went to a recommended orthopedic surgeon this morning, and am heading there right now for another evaluation. I'm thinking I have a partial ACL tear, but only an MRI will reveal that, so here's hoping!
