Anne,
    I so sorry to hear about your chronic injury. Did this happen to you on 
that trip out of Rye Harbor? I had no idea that this had happened to you. If 
I remember that day correctly the two of us were "paddling sweep" most of the 
day. I hope you find relief soon, it sounds like a very uncomfortable 
situation.
    You advise is sound and well timed. We all must stay cognizant of the 
need to build up our stamina and power slowly enough so the body does not 
rebel against us. In addition, we can't be quiet about telling the leaders of 
a trip that we need to slow down if such is the case. No one should let 
anyone put their health in jeopardy. Please heal quickly, Anne.  We wish you 
the best!

Jed
