Good luck man.
PS. If you’ve been on happy pills a while be careful getting off them.

Thirded on looking into ketamine therapy. Sounds like your current meds aren’t working.
I know it feels hard-to-impossible to get up and do something, but it’s important that you seek help. You’ll thank yourself later.
I was just wondering how your ski day a couple weeks ago went? If you posted about it, I missed it but hope it was a good day out!Quote:

I haven't listened to a ton of their stuff but, damn, I love the perspectives and their own and address your faults and man the fuck up theme.
Heh, those women sounded kind of pumped. I’ve only taken K ‘unsupervised.’ I got it from a friend of a friend who has bad MS, it was oral but pharmaceutical. Anyway, it was a lot like that woman in the podcast described - really breakthrough experience.Quote:

Loveland was closed, so
we went to arapahoe ( what I call, A. Basin ) ;
pulmonary edema shut me Down after three, short, Easy, lower-mountain runs.
But it turns-out,
I did not go to CO to be on-skis (:)
the next night - ten.pm, (on) May sixteenth (2024), I saw a mountain lion.
( no shit. )
Life can be a strange journey -
I am no - longer long for this Life., but as long as we are living, through whatever Darkness we live through ! EMBRACE the reward of Life. !
ski you next year, Mir -
I work a little each day not-to-be a complete turd. Midwest was a "terminal-Intermediate" skier
( But, god, how I Loved to ski! ) --
Find your way through, magg.s !
I believe it is attributed to Churchill -
'X If you find yourself in Hell, keep going !(through) ! !! '
peace, my friends.
A f'n mountain lion. !
skiJ
I hope if I ever see a mountain lion up close and personal I come away as you have, with a sense of awe. And unscathed. :wink:
I also hope there is more wonder in store for you during your time on this magical earth, and at least one good dog (if not more) to give you companionship and comfort as you make your way.
Peace to you as well.
Damn skij
Your contributions here have been great. Always positive.
Hang in there.
A few years ago I was in the singles line at Stowe on the front four. Rode with three old dudes. Busting each other. So I asked their age. The two in their eighties were busting on the young punk in his seventies.
Keep sliding. Keep riding. Keep moving.
If you got other terminal shit sorry man. I’ll see you on the other side.
SkiJ what's up? That was pretty ominous.
Played 18 holes yesterday with 2 other regulars, they grouped us up with CW.
79 years old, beat up physically from life in general. Horrible swing but when his clubface arrived at the ball it was straight and solid. He walked 9 with us and as we talked he let on that he had done an hour of PT that morning for his back and then a 15 mile bike ride. Further bullshitting lead to the discovery that he did 20 in the Navy including a tour in Vietnam on a PRB in 66/67 (said it was overrated and Apocalypse Now got it pretty right.) He lived down in Big Sky from when he retired until a few years ago and moved to town. All in all he seemed pretty content and happy with his life.
Here's to ya CW.
"Find your way through, magg.s !

That's what you have to do, i guess once you pass 50. my mom has serious health problems and my step-dad is literally keeping her going by constant care and dedication she has wanted to check out many times as her downs have required hospital stays. Seems to me once you pass some age, everyone is different; you have to be the reason you keep pushing on.
Damn, skiJ. You've always had such amazing positivity of the contagious kind. I hope you get all the low angle meadow skipping you can do. Get well.
hey, guys - Thanks! for the responses and Thank You for your concern --
One of my Least favorite (quotes) is,
' it is(,) what it is. '
heart failure
( Ain't) the way I'm going - Out. (!)
Heddle and I talked about it years ago...
( he was going to die of kidney failure when "they" refused to do a second transplant )
I believe I saw him on his last Good day -
" scary, " I said ;
He nodded emphatically.
I am older than my chronology -
The pulmonary edema was an indicator -
I have had lung damage since 2010, when Influenza became Pneumonia became ( Probably) Septic.
I got antibiotics. and had tunnel vision ( literally. my peripheral vision was Black. )
... had tunnel vision for three weeks --
yes, I have the dogs.
it would be good to outlive them...
But My point, really, was - IS- the mountain lion ! AND embracing Life - through the Darkness. !
Depression Is ... real -
mental health is definitely real. ...
The mountain lion, ,,, FKnA >> it - LIFE don't get more Real !
in August, I Will go to the river of my youth -
we spent a Perfect day there in '17 to Celebrate (my) Dad's Life...
Thank You -
I still love this place !
Rock ON ! skiJ
(( when I get to an actual Computer, I will 'clean-up' my earlier post - Thank you. ))
Yo SkiJ,
My new season pass is valid what, 5 miles from your place?You & I will ski together again this winter. I’m excited about this new pass.
Two cardiac gimps shredding the low angle groomers FKNA !
Even if you don’t put on skis and we just share a cup of coffee in the day lodge together, that still counts as skiing with friends. Word.

Fucking mountain lions!!
We all love mountains. And lions are awesome!!
Unless they eat you.
PS. Mountain lions are actually cougars. And cougars can destroy your life and marriage.
Ski-J
Positive healing vibes sent your way.
“Heart failure” is a scary term but like anything medical there are degrees of severity. Sometimes people hear “failure” and understandably think their heart is no longer working - it’s more like your heart is a car engine and with age it’s no longer as efficient as it should be. It’s a “failure” to work as well as it should.
The treatments available to stabilize and improve the efficiency of your heart have changed dramatically over the past decade - best advice is to see a heart specialist if you can unless your GP is really up to date on the newer treatments. Unless your GP is fresh out of school the treatment algorithm they were previously taught is no longer the standard approach.
And a “I skied with Harry” or a “I had a coffee with Harry” t-shirt sounds like a great 24/25 season goal.
SkiJ
All that^. I was freaked when my dad was told he had heart failure. It’s a terrible name for what can be a very manageable condition. My dad would have times were the chf would big him down to the point of him being a floppy rag doll that didn’t have the energy to even stand still. He’d go into the hospital for some IV lasix and the diuretic would take all the fluid off and he’d be good to go and full of energy. We became fairly frequent flyers w the CHF team at the hospital. Find yourself some good cardiac care!
Sometimes I sits and thinks.
And sometimes I just sits. And listens to this, on loop.

Too late to stop now! Rock on!
SkiJ already has one of my T-shirts, we skied together at Christie Mountain a few years back. Great guy, he has a heart of gold. I would ski, or have coffee, with him anytime anywhere.Quote:

Wait. What?
Don't try to embrace mountain lions if you want to outlive your dogs.
On the contrary. I'd love to able to read what he posts. It literally gives me a panic response and I had to put him on ignore.Quote:
