My favorite thing in all the world was hiking, and now I can't walk without increasing my pain uncontrollably. But we are going on vacation to Yellowstone and Grand Teton and I think I can be satisfied with walking a few feet down a trail and sitting down in the woods and listening for critters. I hope so, anyway. But I feel sorry for my husband. He doesn't enjoy going off and hiking without me. I wish he did. He has polycistic kidney disease and is fine now -- could enjoy doing anything -- but will have to go on dialysis in 9-10 years. And he can't enjoy life to the fullest now because of me. Sometimes life just isn't fair.
