@ray666 Ray -- The title "What's my future" really does play into each of us in different ways and sorry to hear that you have decided not to continue with the lease of the cabin. These decisions are not easy. They are part of having PN. I had to give up my boating for 60 years. I try to replace that experience with an alternative, so we are doing a cruise in the fall. I'm going from a 25-foot boat to one 985 feet anticipating the bigger boat a/k/a cruise ship will not impact my poor balance. On rocky days, I will use my cane and stay put on deck 11 enjoying the views of the ocean....like I did with my own boat. On this bigger boat, my wife and I won't be fishing from it, but we will be there only in a different way. I'd rather be in my own boat, but I've decided to let someone else captain the ship. All part of having PN ... doing things in different ways. Ed

Hi, Ed (@njed). I’ll write a bit more later, but just now, I’m awaiting the arrival of one of my homecare nurses. Yes, giving up the cabin was tough, and my partner and I, too, will create a few alternatives in the coming months. Something I have to be on guard for: Is making a life change due to my PN or sepsis? Honestly? Most, if not all, of my recent life changes are due to my sepsis. Sepsis has truly been a blight on my life, far more than my PN ever was. Fortunately, my doctors tell me that I will get over my sepsis (at least my foot wound will heal), and I should be able to restore a good deal of the life I’m currently setting aside. PN, unlike sepsis, is for keeps. Things I’ve set aside because of my PN will probably have to remain set aside. // A bit more later, Ed. Here’s wishing you a fine day and a fine weekend! –Ray (@ray666)
