The latest Update
I'm healing. I'm stronger. I am no longer taking any medication. I'm still on crutches, but I can now spin the pedals on an exercise bicycle all the way, and my physical therapist has moved my brace to a 45-degree flexion. I have 116-degree range of motion. I am and will be performing kata. I am almost ready for Sensei. I am almost ready for my teachers and students.
I am no longer lacking a sword. I will defend my dissertation in June, and then I will earn the older style 38-inch Criswell katana, traded for a new blade from a ronin. Working with this blessed and magickal steel strengthens the Dragon.
The Fortress of Solitude continues to empty itself of that which will be unneccesary. Work also continues to empty itself. In emptiness I find fullness, in weakness I find strength.
I have missed time with my Beloved, although I will see her tonight, and this weekend. We will both be the better for both the missed time, and for reconnecting.
