You’ll notice in the above image that it appears I have no left kneecap. To make a long story short, I got kicked right in the side of the knee during sparring. It barely hurt at the time, and over the next ten hours proceeded to hurt and swell more and more, until eventually I had a grapefruit sized mass of liquid around my knee, and I couldn’t walk.
I think it’s very unlikely that I completely tore any ligament in my knee, since I was moving around properly after the injury. This gives me hope that I have a very short recovery process ahead of me, perhaps just a few weeks to heal up some partial tears. Unfortunately, in the meantime I can’t make it to my computer, and had to write this on an alternate device, and I can’t make any promises as for when I’ll get the next article out.
Thank you for your patience.
