Knees knees

Knees knees the magical fruit the more I walk the more they hurt

My knees haven't gotten any better with a few days rest and thinking about it logically, I doubt they would heal in a couple more days, they probably need weeks, or to go to a doctor and have a fancy machine look at them.

I talked with Blues, who thru hiked last year, and he said his knees started hurting him near the end of his trip last year. I asked him how long it took after he got home for them to heal and he told me they never did.

I came out here to enjoy myself, but painful knees and the possibility of constant knee pain/problems for the rest of my life terrifies me. That is not why I am here.

When I first started my trip my biggest concerns were that my allergies would cause me a lot of problems or that I would lose too much weight, I never thought it would be my knees. I've never had a problem with them in my whole life.

After spending the last couple of days thinking it over in my head I have decided to head back to stl for now. I'm not sure if this adventure is done for good or what will come. I need to do some more thinking over the next few days and when I figure something out I will be sure to post that decision here.
