Four Walls Creeping In
It has been two weeks since I found the blister on my hip caused in large part to the Halloween storm and no electricity for almost a week. I was at wound care today. The wound is better, not much but better. I am still stuck in bed and will be for a while. This is very hard. I am overwhelmingly sad. I am coming to terms with the fact I will most likely not be healed until Christmas. Even then my skin will not be up to withstand the rigors of skiing. I had dreamed of skiing out West this winter. Looks like that is a pipe dream now. And in my grim mood I wonder if I will ever ski again. I wonder if I will ever resume a normal life. It is hard to make plans knowing one small mistake can leave me bed bound for months. At least I can function. I am not in a nursing home. I do not need my family to stay in my house and care for me. But life seems very restricted. Yes, the four walls of my bedroom are closing in and I am not happy.

Oh no! Very sorry to hear this. It sounds incredibly frustrating. :(
Sending wishes for a quicker healing and a much, much extended ski season...
Bill,
I am so sorry to hear about your skin! I know you were looking forward to ski season. I really hope that you're fully healed by before Christmas. I'm sure you'll be able to ski again & that your life will eventually return to normal.
