Thanks for thinking of me SteveO. Yes, it is winter in Vail and it has been quite a busy place.
Many people celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year here. Now, we are inundated with folks for the Martin Luther King Holiday.
Our winter season started off with a pretty typical amount of snow. The snow really slowed down between Christmas and the Near Year. Since New Year's day, we have received a series of storms that are bringing us back up to normal. Before today, we had received about 140 inches of snow, which is probably not far off from what is typical for this point in the season.
This morning, my wife measured 19 inches on the deck before she started shovelling it. I so wish that I could help. That is a lot of snow and we have a pretty big deck. The wheelchair van lives outside (too tall for the garage), so she had to shovel around that as well.
We are in the middle of our second major winter storm in the last 4 days. This storm is expected to last until tomorrow evening. More snow is expected as the week unfolds.
I continue to do well, though am using the bipap more and get more fatigued during the day.
My wife, a physical therapist, has observed some spasticity in my lower legs, which, while tolerable, is inconvenient and uncomfortable. Oddly enough, having my legs tighten up makes it a bit easier to stand.
