Everywhere we went during our trek, my knees drew a lot of attention. I felt sorry for our guide because he had to explain what happened to my knees so many times, and then he had to listen to everyone’s advice about what I should do to help them heal. At one of the villages an older woman cut up some special leaves and put them on my knees. They don’t have a name for the leaf, but it is suppose to help me heal faster. I hope it works. The lady also told our guide that there was some special medicine for healing skin that she could make from one of the trees, but our guide told her we didn’t have enough time.
