Unfortunately, I had to cancel my trip today due to a pinched nerve at the base of my spine, which has made walking exceptionally painful and difficult. So neither I, nor my Barlings will be at the show
I appreciate the suggestions of my friends, who suggested that I rent a motorized wheelchair, a sedan chair with bearers, or if those options are too expensive or difficult to obtain, a wheelbarrow with someone to wheel me about.
Perhaps next year if nothing bad happens.
Have a wonderful time!

Dang! That’s rough.

I was hoping to finally meet you, Jessie! And I was looking forward to seeing some of those Barlings. Oh well. I hope you are back on your feet quickly.

Thanks for your kind wishes. This is truly a bitch to deal with. Stabbing pain can send me grasping for something to grab onto so I don't hit the floor. Dealing with stairs is a real treat. I've stopped the muscle relaxant that was prescribed because it made me extremely unsteady on my feet. The Penguin walks with much greater grace than moi.

Yesterday I decided to use the jacuzzi to see if it would offer some relief. Because my legs are so stiff I ended up skidding on the tub floor and barrel rolled into it. Luckily I hit the far sloping side and just slid into the water without hurting myself. Not my most graceful entry and the water splashed all over the bathroom. I probably would have gotten a 2 out of 6 if I was being judged. I'm getting some traction strips to stick to the bottom of the tub.

Saddened as I am not to be able to attend, it was the right decision under the circumstances.

Again, have a wonderful time at the show!
