Lookout Pass opened on Saturday for limited skiing. They have gotten more snow since and are planning to open again this weekend. 49° North is talking about opening next weekend. Mt Spokane has snow but not near enough to open up yet.
I mention all this because I had a Doctor's appointment today. Just the regular monthly visit I've been doing since I got on the Milrinone and the PICC line.
During the course of the meeting, I brought up skiing and my plans to ski and if that was okay. Dr. Lewey kind of cringed and then said, "No!" Skiing is not a good idea right now.
I guess I can see why. They have restricted me from any heavy lifting, especially with my right arm where the PICC line is located. The other reason is the IV bag I carry in a fanny pack. It could rupture if I fall. I tried to explain that I don't fall but that didn't matter. I could fall and that might be bad.
In truth, I had a few falls last season. At least one was pretty hard.
So, I got a letter from the Doc to say I can't ski so I can get my money back for the Season Pass I bought last year. I may hold off getting the refund so I can go up at least once. This would be my 60th year of skiing and I do not want to break the streak.
