Henry, 

It's great to hear that you made it to Canada.  Congratulations!  

I'm curious, did you use trekking sticks on your hike?  

My knees took a pounding during the first 1000 miles of the AT, but after a 
recovery period and the switch to two poles I haven't suffered any noticeable 
discomfort in my knees, finishing the AT and for half the PCT.  Highly 
recomended.

I hear the glucosamine works great, but takes a while to become effective.
