it feels much better today. I can walk full speed without a limp...its only stairs that hurt now...another day and I suspect that the knee will be back to better.
On another note...the forrest walking I did paid off...I lost another 3lbs thats 17lbs in five weeks....I hope to loose three more this week and make it 20lbs in six weeks between the end of January and my Birthday in early March.
Very pleased with myself
