Hello all:
I walked back into Hampton today. My knee is not getting any better. It's only mildly worse and I really don't want to push it too hard. I'd hate to do permanent damage, for obvious reasons. So here I am, after 422 miles, not quite at Damascus, and ready to take a short breather to either heal or head back to work. I'm not sure yet. I'll have an opportunity to get back to trail soon enough once I get back to Boston; I'll be able to meet Castaway in Roanoke in 2.5 weeks. I think I'm making the correct decision right now. I've only got 2 knees and 40-50 years left in life, so the trade-off is obvious......
I'll figure out a way to get from Hampton to Boston and that will be that for now. I'll have my doc take a look at the knee!
Thanks again for all your comments! I may be back on the trail soon....

Hi Matt,
I second Brian's comments except the part about being out there. Even the virtual trip seems painful. If you get bored just concentrate on ROIC and TOIC designs. Seriously, I am impressed. Take care of that knee and good luck either way.
Hi Matt,
Guess my note from 5/1 did not go through.
Just got back from a 1250 mile bus tour in Ireland............and have so much respect for you! But I guess I was doing the "old lady thing"!
Anyhow, so glad to see you are still on the trail, but I agree, take good care of the knee.....you do need it for a long time.........Your family, and friends have are so impressed with what you have done.........you can always pick up the trail again, if it is one of your goals in the years to come.
Whatever you decide.......seems like everyone is behind our decision.
Fair winds.....to you,
Maureen
Matt-
Hope you had a safe flight home and you get an appointment soon.
Tim wanted me to tell you to give a call when you are settled. He wants to chat about your adventures.
I hope I can get to Boston to see you before you go back (if you do).
Congrats, Matt-it was a fun ride to follow!
Love
Zan
