My pain level has ranged from a 3 to a 7 lately.
I developed 2 new ulcers on the top of my left foot today. I am sad and aggravated. I am resisting what seems inevitable.
This winter has given us a smooth clear freeze on the lakes with no snow so far. Perfect for ice skating. Today I went out on the ice taking out a very large quad line (steerable) kite that I made a few years ago. I put on my ice skates and set up the kite. The wind was marginable but at times was strong enough to lift the kite airborne and pulled me for an incredibly exhilarating ride across the lake. This is something I have been dreaming about doing for years. I realized today that this may be the only chance I will ever have. It's rare that winter gives us such a nice clear freeze. And even if it does happen again, I may not be able to withstand the pain enough to enjoy it. I was out there about an hour and a half as the pain grew worse and worse. But I am glad I did it. I fulfilled a dream.
