Closeups of some of the beautiful patterns made by glacier ice, rock, and snow in Antarctica. Water and pressure and erosion can create such beauty.
As long as it's outside our bodies, that is. I injured my knee during the cruise—I'm not sure, but I think it was when I was getting into bed one night and the ship's motion made me land awkwardly. I really twisted it, and I remember yelping. But although it ached a little, it didn't cause me any real issues until I came home, and the small ache just got progressively worse. By the time I finally got in to see a doctor last week I could no longer walk down stairs or get up from a sitting position without pushing or pulling with my arms. Anti-inflammatories and a cortisone shot have helped a lot, and today was my first session of what will be at least six weeks of physical therapy.
