Yup, that was me, and I didn't even show the worst of the pictures. I'm mostly better. I'm still covered in pale spots, indicative of some level of cellular damage throughout my body which is at least semi-permanent. The doctors are now guessing that it will be months-to-years for the rest of the rash to fade, if ever. I'm still a bit low-energy, too.

And I'm burdened for now with big medical bills to pay off (in fact, the medical stuff isn't entirely over, yet)... which is why I'm gonna be selling off a bunch of knives.

Thanks for the concern.

Heck yes, I'm going to sell the pictures of my rash to science books! I'm going to corner the market for medical stock photos of RMSF.

P.S. We'll probably meet at Blade Show, or some such, some time. If you're interested, ask me to show you my spots.
