A brief update - 9/17

On another front, at PT this Wednesday, I did sign up for another massage session late next week. This time, I want her to concentrate, if possible on my right hip and leg, these are the original source of my chronic pain and there is never a time, not even for a minute, that they don't hurt. Want to see if she can do any magic in those areas.

PT was rough, I was determined, and finished all my normal routines for the first time since I started back, it was sheer determination and stubbornness on my part. Therapist kept encouraging me to back off, but I kept saying no, I want to finish what I started.

I did finish everything, but like all "pushes", it came with a price later.

Also,

thank you.

I have been anxiously waiting all year for this 2nd cruise. It's coming up fast. My poor wife is pretty wore out too, and we decided this time, no time consuming shore excusions, no racing all over the ship endlessly. Going to be a laid back trip, with plenty of rest time, nap times, sitting out on deck chairs, no set schedule for anything. And on the last trip, only spent 30 minutes at those beautiful beaches due to a tight shore schedule. She wants to lay out on that pink sand under a huge umberella and just chill to a cold drink. Long as I stay out of the direct sun, should be ok.

The kayak thing will never be the "do it all the time" kind of thing. Just when I am up to it, and the weather is right. I like it mostly because it does get me back on the water (still miss my last sailboat that I sold earlier this year), and it lets us do something together.

On the legal front, as described above, I know when its time to withdraw, and I don't want to expend the rest of my life fighting a dead horse. Any thing now, would be futile and pointless.

Hope you are doing ok.

David
