Who's on the DL?

Sorry Harvey but.... BUCK UP PRIVATE , it's not the end of the world. I've been skiing with chronic back pain for years not to mention arthritis in pelvic area. I went to get the herniated disk fixed this summer and ended up getting open heart surgery instead. My back is still screwed but I still plan to get my 30+ days in this season.
Hell I got 10 days in the year I went through chemotherapy with an anal fisher from hell... gotta tell you sitting on a chairlift was painful. Point is if you love doing something do it. Yeah you may have to go about it differently but you adapt. My pain disappears after my first turn replaced with a smile. I wish not to offend but offer my own feelings on your situation.
Don't stop doing what you love.

Holy crap
Open heart surgery? Fuk. Glad you're doing good bro
My pain disappears as soon as I pick up a gun or turn they key on my sled.
I get it

There’s an old sayng, when one door closes another opens.

Lots of folks are “handicapped” in many different ways.
Hope ya can be the best version of ya.

When my eyeballs heal I’ll have some new cool UV blocking shades for the bluebirds days.

This thread could use some tunes to boot. I can see clearly now covered by Ray Charles Robinson.

Harv , rub some Voltaren on it and take a advil and Tylenol together...Pain sucks
Sometime ya go live with the pain...

Here's my issue...started having neuropathy in my feet about 10 yrs ago...it has progressed to where it's causing a slight limp...Neurologist did a nerve conductivity test, for those who have had this. you will understand...This test was developed by the CIA in conjunction with the Nazis and KGB...You haven't lived until you have needles inserted in your muscles and then have electric current pass through them..Anyway the issue is pretty bad but it is a least staying bellow my knees... So I doubled down on my time in the gym and stretching...Luckily still able to ski great and bike

Went through this type of testing (4.5 hours worth) earlier this year. It's BRUTAL. Needles in the hands was especially not fun.

Turns out I had something called Guillain-Barre' Syndrome (also BRUTAL)... but I have started skiing again (2 days so far - Woo!).

There's always a way back, Harvey! Sometimes you just have to adjust a little bit.

And I’m glad to hear you found a way jasonwx.

I too doubled down on PT, stretching, etc. The more people told me I might not be able to ski, the harder I worked.

Look I shouldn't have posted last night. I was emotional.

I'm not actually in a lot of pain. More like what the doctor told me hit me hard. I guess I've been lucky, i never heard any thing like that from a doc.

Apologies. I'll dial it back.

We all get older it's inevitable with that comes pain. It's not gonna get any better only worse. So embrace it don't let it win, park further away, take the stairs instead of the elevator, take the hard road not the easy path, keep moving, Keep skiing.

Very true, only made it 5 minutes in and said no mas !
Bone marrow biopsies were a walk in the park compared to that sadistic test.
