Lizard Man's Travels

This site is a journal of my travels and other adventures while I shift from doing postdoctoral research on tree frog ecology in Darwin, Australia, to research on digestive physiology of lizards and bats in Sede Boqer, Israel. Enough friends have been asking me for regular updates on this journey, that I thought this would be the best forum to keeep everyone up to date (including me).

Knee redux

Just a quick update on the knee injury. It still doesn't really hurt, but it is still swollen a lot, making it hard to move. I managed to get to the bus, and then to the doctor on campus. His diagnosis... well, it passed all the tests for stabillity, pain, etc. and so it remains a mystery. Possibilities: torn meniscus or cartillage, which may be masked a bit by the swelling; partially torn cruciate ligament, which may also be masked by the swelling; buggered mystery knee parts, which may heal themselves when the swelling goes down or may get worse. Next stop, sports physiotherapist, once I'm mobile enough to get to them (they are on the other side of town).
