| Hey, so the simplified story goes: We were white water rafting in Northern Thailand and I banged my knee on a rock (through the boat) and then continued the day because I had no pain; but 4 days later I started to have alot of pain and inflammation. I went to the hospital and was mis-diagnosed (Bursitis) and the condition worsened, so I went to another hospital and was told about the bad infection....they started surgery (hence the gauge out of my knee). Before this surgery there was no mark on my knee...just swelling and redness. After that, we continued travels but the beast was still infected and sore. When we got to Bangkok, I went to yet another hospital where they began a more extensive surgery (hence the crater on my knee) to remove the puss and bad tissue; and finally a few weeks later I am almost good to go! I will continue travels in Laos on Saturday Dec 1st. Now it is mid February, my knee is completely fine and usable, just ended up with a scar. |
