Whats my future?

Hello, @centre

I'm the fellow who claimed in a first post that his pre-PN future has remained unchanged, with only modest modifications to accommodate PN's limitations. However, in a second post, I had to confess that many of my so-called "modest" modifications have not been all that "modest." Your post about your family reunion has reminded me of how abundantly true that is: that many of my modifications have been the farthest thing from "modest." How so?

Only this week, my partner and I decided to give up our lease on a mountain cabin for almost 20 years. Why? Because of my PN. Just going from the car to the cabin was a nasty fall waiting to happen. I could no longer walk the mountain trails, not only the narrow, rock-strewn trails but also the comparatively flat but gravelly roads. Worst of all? Traveling to and from the outhouse, especially at night. That proved impossible, especially for a fellow whose ten-step excursion down the garden path to retrieve the day's paper was already an Olympic challenge.

I wish you well, @centre! And thank you for today's post!

Thanks for your post, Ray, I really needed that shoulder pat of commiseration for things needing to be left behind because of the PN. I can only imagine the hard facing of reality in your and your partner’s discussions of whether it was time to give up the beloved mountain cabin lease.
I have two more days to go here. How’s this for making lemonade out of lemons? The middle generation makes the daily excursion plan, off we go, with the very anxious 105 lb Great Pyrenees dog. If the activity allows dogs, the dog comes too. If the activity doesn’t allow them, I babysit in the mini-van, because I usually can’t do the activity. But, I’m getting some good books read and the dog and I are becoming good friends 🤣😂
