Oh my goodness Jill I now understand the anxiety you were experiencing and I’m so sorry you had to deal with all this. Im so sorry that started with the mammogram & ultrasound experience. It’s so scary to experience and it can definitely cause bad anxiety. I’m so glad it turned out well for you 🩷🌸

I hope you are able to get to Alaska for the White Mountain 100 and that you will be pain free. You might try adding Tylenol 8 hour (Arthritis) to your Aleve pain regime. I take Meloxicam which is a prescribed anti-inflammatory med like Aleve only stronger. It doesn’t really help with pain so much so I add the Tylenol and it helps helps a lot.

As always my best to you! May you have a very successful 100 miler.

Sincerely

Linda

.. i heard 4’ Colorado snow predicted the other day.. (been paying careful attention to NA SnowPack this winter for numerous reasons !) & just yesterday (Saturday) asked my Love if she heard any followup.. WoW ! Your ‘substack post = Phenomenal Followup ! Have cousins ‘off the grid’ above Nelson BC - Kootenay Lake - Canada & ideally get their update today.. fyi .. sounds like ‘rib tissue injury to me.. very slow to heal & even a sneeze or laugh can set healing back another 2 weeks till next sneeze.. or.. you finally get over the hump if it. Yes yes.. have had all sorts of rib injuries & at 6’ 3” about 172 lbs the last 55 years or so gots little or no padding re contact sport falls - snowboarding skiing basketball football hockey - not to mention farm life

But I digress - the inevitable ‘melt’ or thaw or refreeze processes & changes ‘could be maybe’ Good Bad or Real Ugly > & any subsequent precipitation who knows ? But I bet you gots the Sources for a bit of heads up - daily or even hourly.. especially Day vs Night too.. will stay tuned here in Toronto & hope for the best .. for The West ! Thanks so muchly for the facts & pics.. priceless ! 🦎🏴‍☠️🇨🇦

Oh my goodness, Jill!! That’s crazy!!! It seems comically hopeless but I also know it’s serious (and frankly scary) get that much snow. I’m laughing and crying for you at the same time. I enjoyed your play by play of the Snowpocalypse 2024- It sure deteriorated quickly from graupel to absolutely buried! Good luck and stay safe! I hope that Colorado sunshine makes a dent in it and that you can travel safely to Fairbanks! 💕
