sleddog, I admire your fortitude and sense of humour. AS the weeks stretch out to almost a month, now, and I still have the damned drop-foot and numbness from the pinched nerve/cramped muscles I got on the qualifying sail, my attitude is being tested.
I'm hoping for epidural steroid anti-inflammatories before arthroscopic surgery. I'll know more on the 17th when my neurosurgeon looks at my MRI's. I have to fight the temptation to be angry with myself for not taking the 120 seconds it would have taken to get out of the foul weather gear, change into fresh long underwear and crawl completely into my sleeping bag, prone in my berth instead of what I did do after I dropped anchor.
Ah, well. Anger will get me nada. I will think on your sofa to nowhere and buck up.
