[Rhodes22-list] My medical issues just keep coming!

Fri Oct 15 14:29:21 EDT 2021

Hi Jessie,

I think I am finally recovering from my cardiac ablation procedure last February.  At least my aerobic stamina has improved to the point where I can do a moderate amount of work or climb a set of stairs W/O getting winded.  Since it’s the “off season”, and it’s been a long time coming, I have decided to get my knee joints replaced.  The X-rays show the lateral meniscus in both knees is gone and it’s bone on bone due to osteo-arthritis!  The 1st joint replacement will be the right knee on Nov 1st.  If all goes well, the left knee will be eplaced 6 weeks later in mid Dec.  I will have all winter to do my PT and get better.  Hopefully, by next summer, I’ll be able to hike, bike, paddle, and sail much better.   We are tentatively rescheduling our High Adventure Sailing/Sea Kayaking/Beach Camping Great Circle Tour Of The Apostle Islands archipelago for Aug, 2022.  I’m hoping I’ll be good to go for a few more years after all this recent “rebuilding”.  I have 4 grand children, ages 6, 4, 4, and 10 months that I need to take camping, paddling, and sailing not to mention lots more Boy Scout trips before they lay me in the ground!

You didn’t mention eating at the Beaver Island Lodge in your adventure.  I’m curious if they managed to stay in business thru the pandemic.

Hi Roger,

Yes - I have read about your epic adventure to Beaver Island and Garden
Island and considered that as some of my pre-trip research reading :)
 That was quite an impressive trip to do on a R22.  We didn't make it over
to Garden Island but maybe we'll get a chance to visit there in the
future.  Other than the day from Beaver Island south to Northport, we had
pretty calm conditions compared to what you experienced.

I enjoy reading about the R22 trips that you and others have posted as
well.  I'm looking forward to Chris' next installment of Greek adventures.
I've also got Peter's latest Maine trip on my list of youtube videos to
watch.

You also posted some helpful tips regarding Lake Superior sailing but we
didn't make it up there this summer after all.  It was nice to read about
your Apostle Island scouting trip on the catamaran.

Glad you enjoyed the trip recaps!

Jesse
