Thanks for the offer to take me up to the refuge.
Unfortunately, I cannot travel that far because of the Parkinson’s and some of the associated issues.
I have dystonia in my hamstrings and it is very painful for me to sit down. I had deep brain stimulation, surgery, which is one of the few treatments that will eventually allow me to return to a more normal life. But it’s gonna take at least another nine months or so before I’m ready. And there is no guarantee that the surgery will allow me to travel. I go to Seattle to the University of Washington for much of my treatment because it is so specialized. But I’m positive that it will eventually work.
I’m 76 and I am generally healthy other than the Parkinson’s and its associated problems. But it is neuro degenerative and there’s no way to know what will happen in the future.
Thanks for your understanding.
