That's totally understandable and yeah it's definitely expensive! Waimea is PACKED during Christmas and New Years though. That's when the 20'+ waves start to hit.
@wizard0 I know how it is to have health problems keeping me at home too. Asthma, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, heart problems, plus pain and weakness from all that. Shit after shit piling on. Sucks.
It does. My scoliosis twists my spine and pushes my ribs into my lungs and heart. We're pretty sure the stress on them is what has caused my heart failure a couple times. Being sick sucks. But hey, it's better than the alternative! We smile, crack a joke and move on. :)
Sending hugs! And well wishes! And my favorite joke. A bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the woods. The bear turns to the rabbit and says, "Do you have problems with shit sticking to your fur?" The rabbit replies, "Why no!" So the bear wiped his ass with the rabbit.
