this blog chronicles my 2189.1 mile thru hike of the appalachian trail in 2016.

Days 43 + 44: Prognosis

Current Location: Johnson City, TN

Huuuuuuuuge shout out to Jon and his family for picking me up in Roan Mtn, TN at 19E and driving me to the city to get looked at by a doctor.   

Looks like stress fractures are out, hopefully!  Xrays came out clean.  Doctor said likely just severe overuse and inflammation.  Rest and ice.   

Disappointed to be off trail, but only for a few days.  Looking to hop back on Friday after 5 days of rest!
