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)

NJ Ed | @njed | Reading over what I said earlier about MY sepsis, not MY neuropathy, being the Great Kill Joy of my life, I see that I had said what I had intended to say. What I might have gone on to say––to emphasize––is MY sepsis and MY neuropathy. I have come to see that the two terms are vast umbrellas beneath which reside multitudes of sepsis variations and neuropathy variations. My sepsis is no more a match for the next person’s sepsis than my neuropathy (idiopathic polyneuropathy: no pain, no dizziness, but lots of balance and gait woes) is a match for the next person’s neuropathy. That’s something I have to remember whenever I’m speaking with another PN sufferer. Whereas I may have no pain or dizziness, she may suffer excruciating pain. I must be cautious in tossing about terms like neuropathy and sepsis. // How’s the weather where you are, Ed? It’s a coolish day here today, unlike the days recently. My partner and I sure wish we had that cabin to flee to. ––Ray (@ray666)
