What the hell happened, Chuck?

Spinal chord injury from a tumor. It left me with lack of proprioception
which is why I have trouble standing. In order to stand, I have to
either see the ground or hang onto something.

Yikes! You sound like you are handling it better than I probably would. Have
you considered an SCT or MCT scope? Even a 5" is pretty portable, and with
wedge, the eyepiece doesn't move around a whole lot.

Hang in there on the camping. You're bound to hit some better weather.

Clear Skies!
