This was some of the gear I was going to take with me: parka, goggles, mountaineer helmet, ice axe, snowshoes, crampons, cap, gaiters, and hiking boots.I cancelled my hike to Mt. Baldy. Not the kind of "scratch" I had in mind.
I kept thinking about what people have been telling me over the past couple of months, "Get well, Gary, the mountains will always be there."
With my third epidural on March 24 and my neurologist consultation on March 31, it would be wise to lay off the strenuous physical activity until I get the green light.
While on the topic of getting well I am still pain free. I am ever so careful how I pick up things off the floor or how I turn around or how I lie down or get back up. I know there is a fine line between agony and ectasy.
I want to enjoy the ectasy part.
