Already?

I have a trick knee.  By which I mean it played a trick on me and pretended to be all injured so I would spend $150 postponing my trip to Costa Rica, but once I'd done that I woke up this morning with almost no pain and nary a limp.  F you too, knee.

Stupid human body

I hate being fallible.  I hate that I can't always be 100% healthy or that parts of my body don't always work exactly the way I want them to.  I hate that this fallibility can sometimes prevent me from doing exactly what I would like to do.  But playing the ostrich and pretending that my knee will just magically fix itself in time for my Costa Rica trip is not going to work.  So instead I've decided to postpone my trip.  I'm giving myself eight extra months to do the physical therapy and strengthen my knee, get into better cardiovascular shape and just get back to being the physical person I used to be before my knees stopped cooperating. 

It was a tough decision.  Not only do I hate admitting my fallibility, I also hate waiting for things.  Right now, though, when I can't even walk around Tacoma without almost putting myself out of commission the next day, it makes more sense to take my time and not push my limits.  I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope that Costa Rica is still there when I'm ready to go see it. 

Super

More things I can't do in Costa Rica:

Zipline canopy tour in Monteverde (limit 275 lbs)

Horseback riding from Monteverde to Volcano Arenal (limit 200 lbs)

What a bummer.
