Monday, March 21 was my first "zero" day, and it was much needed. I rested my knee as much as I could and it felt pretty good in my short walks about town. I bought a knee brace and so far it feels OK. However, as I am typing this on Monday evening I can still feel pain. As I noted before, it seems to progress as the day goes on.
My plan is to walk more slowly and for fewer hours each day to take care of my knee. I'm asking my knee to heal while demanding much of it at the same time. I'll know tomorrow and the next day if that is possible. I hope so. I will gladly sacrifice speed to stay on the trail.
Anyway, Hiawassee is a nice little town beside a lake at the foot of the mountains. I ate good "town food" and thoroughly enjoyed the comparative luxury of a motel room. Back to the trail tomorrow.
