acl tear postpones my trip

i have been dying to get to Korea and start my next adventure as an english teacher, but i managed to blow my knee out just in time. I hurt my knee on Monday august 3rd, 2009. i was able to have surgery to replace my ACL using a section of my hamstring on August 6th. at this point i am still on crutches with a full immobile leg brace. i have my first post operation meeting with my surgeon Monday and will start physical therapy soon after.
as you can imagine i have quite a bit of free time and i have been using it to learn the korean alphabet, hangul. The most useful web site i have found so far for this has been this tutorial. I also "purchased" some Korean language learning but have yet to take a serious crack at them.

I've already used facebook to connect with several people living in the city of pyeongtaek, where i will be living, and in a few other cities as well. Everyone i talk to seems to have travel and adventure in mind, and i can't wait to meet them!

my only concern about moving to korea right now is the lack of road bikes over there. my knee rehabilitation will require quite a bit of biking, so i have pretty much decided that i am going to disassemble my bike and pack the frame in one of my suitcases and just buy new rims when i get to SK.

anyway this is a picture of me using my knee flex device that just moves my knee back and forth so that i regain flexibility. at present i am able to move my knee to a 70 degree flex.
