earlier in the week Ed, Ben and I skied the UAF trails because Pella is not able to ski yet. i was testing out my new windproof layer after our Tolovana experience. it was only 20 below at smith lake so i was plenty warm.
the rest of the week was pretty tough. this access is not working as it should yet. i have lots of swelling and bruising from each of the two to three needles from 3 days a week of dialysis and it making my arm a mess. i guess they say this is the "norm" for a new access, let me tell you it is no fun! i am hoping it gets better over the Holidays. in better news, my scarf is coming along, it wraps around now and is almost long enough!
