This past summer I didn't get the boat down to the Mira River as planned because of my PMR.
At this point I'm down to just south of a guarter of the daily steroid dose I started on and am keeping up my treadmill and BowFlex routine 3 times a week.
I am 11 months into this affliction and with any luck will be free of it by July.
So, we're looking for an active boating season next year.
Believe I mentioned that I picked up my boat a few weeks ago and the warranty paint blister repair looks great.

Damn, Don - when you say 'PMR' are you meaning this:

If so, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear about that. Let's hope it doesn't
turn into giant cell arteritis. That's some even worse ****. I'll say
a prayer for you. (Honestly.)

Glad the blister repair looks good. I guess a year of use will show
how well it lasts.
