    Ugh. Be patient, do rehab, take a long-term view.

    hey wrong thread 10k!
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Owl...I have the same problem, swoll up and had trouble reaching my shoes to tie them and could hardly get into my tent and sleeping bag. The options I was given was to have a very large portion cut out or live with it, I chose to live with it and the orthopaedic surgeon agreed. Without the cartilage between the bones I was concerned I would develop worse problems. If I over do it I'll have swelling and be back in the same shape but I believe I will still be able to hike 20-mile days if I exercise some good judgement going down hill....if!

    Indeed, you do. That being said, you're not the only ones learned in botany and medicine up in this forum.
