I know the pain. I have for 12 weeks now 3 herniated discs pronouncing on both
sides of spine and a pinched nerve that took me to the hospital for 8 days.
The pain is down the right side to the toes and although I’m walking gently
with a cane, at least I’m moving. Keeping the boat covered until I can
actually sail it….might be a long summer. Surgeon said to let it heal
naturally and if it returns for a second run, then we’ll do surgery. Might be
a lost summer here on Georgian Bay.

Joe asked "How are we all doing this spring?"
Touche' is doing great! It's in the best condition ever. It sits in its slip
ready to cruise east to Pensacola or beyond.
Its owner, however, is not great. A few weeks ago, I was cleaning and prepping
Touche' to head east. I had crew scheduled. I was excited to try out the new
solar panels for some extended anchoring out around the Gulf Islands National
Seashore. The weather was looking awesome. Cool nights and southerly winds
for anchoring on the north side of the islands.
Then I slipped while cleaning the boat. Caught myself. Didn't think much
about it until a couple days later when I developed sciatica type pain and
significant weakness in my right leg. Deemed it unsafe to move around the boat
with 1.25 of 2 legs. MRI showed a bulging disc and a couple other issues. Boo!
Got a spinal steroid shot to kill the pain. Surgery this Thursday. 3-6 month
recovery.
I missed 2-3 weeks of some of the best cruising weather I've seen in recent
years. Really bummed. By the time I recover, the summer heat will be here.
😡🤬☹️ Arrrrgh!!
