Wow! This is the first time I've heard of // read your poetry. So deep and profound. You should express yourself through poetry more often. Beautiful!

You're probably in the middle of the cruise as I write this -- hope you have a marvelous vacation! We fly to Cuba every Feb/Mar to get away from the harsh winters here. But I'm afraid to go this year due to fear of it being to tiring (airports, Customs, etc.) even though I'll be pushed around in a wheelchair. Plus the horribly high heat which hovers around 30C day and night.

Also, I know what you mean about the stairs -- going up is fine, coming down is scary!

You're walking looks to be coming along well. I envy you, maybe, not needing an AFO. Mine gets so hot on my leg, and I have to wear hot knee socks so the "plastic" doesn't sweat to my legs.

Have a grand ol' time, enjoy, and come back to us refreshed and, hopefully, renewed.
