Thank you for sharing your story. It encourages me to stay positive for hopeful outcomes. Best wishes to you in your road ahead and on the Whistler slopes! I live in Atlanta now but enjoyed the times earlier in my life when skiing out West in Colorado and California. I have Peripheral Neuropathy since 2008, so cold and snow don't pair well with my PN. Perhaps I'll explore some high-tech products that could enable me keep my numb toes warm enough to take on a few downhill runs again. I'll dream of gliding down that power in the Rockies again!
