Rocky ~ No argument from me on your opinion of neuropathy. Your story was very inspiring to me – that you did all those amazing things.
Years ago when I realized it was my life, I fled and went in search of my dreams and they found me! I’m so glad I did. At the top of my game 19 years ago, suddenly it was CIDP, and not my idea of adventure. My Plan B bucket list sure doesn’t look like I though it would; but its a list nonetheless.
I still find life fascinating and can’t wait until my next adventure. The last trip was to the Getty Museum in LA and my next will be Pennsylvania for my son’s wedding. It’s 2600 miles one-way and I have no idea how that’s going to work – yet. But it will and I’m sure it will exceed my expectations. My love has always been the mountains and rivers and forests and that sense of what’s over the net hill. I truly love it but understand my limits.
Like Yogi Berra said ‘when you come to a fork in the road take it.’ I’m sure you’ll find that fork and know the right way to go. Best to you.

I had to cross tap dancing off my list ~ although on one of my ‘one-crutch days’ I tripped on a piece of sewing thread and the subsequent recovery sent me a-stomping and a-jiving around the room for about 15 seconds and came pretty darn close to the [U]reel[/U] thing! I can also do a pretty good one-leg stomp followed by a hugemungous dual upper thigh muscles lock up. Takes care of all my aerobic and adrenaline needs for at least a week. Some days I laugh until [U]all[/U] my cheeks hurt. You can’t make this stuff up.
