Well... that was a bummer.

A few weeks ago, I wiped out -- no, really, I launched through the air after tripping over my own feet... in NY Penn Station... during rush hour -- and landed on my knees and right elbow, resulting in a fractured left kneecap, though it could have been much worse. I had to wear a straight-leg brace for a month, then take it easy for a month after that. For such a small injury, it sure destroyed the rest of my body, including my lower back. Needless to say, soapmaking wasn't on the top of my list for a while. But I have learned about the importance and joy of having fully-working joints, and I'm (pretty much) healed. It's good to be back!
