Can I still Camp?

I'm going to find out tonight if I can handle lying on an air mattress (I hope) or the hard ground and survive.  I'm taking my younger son on a family camping trip with his Cub Scout pack.  I used to enjoy camping, then I grew up and had to do all the planning and work involved and now I don't like camping so much anymore. I hope I can get the air mattress blown up.  We shall see how this goes.

Lately I've been feeling stronger.  I've not had as much tingling pain or that sharp shooting electrical pain either.  I think I can feel a bit more in my backside, but it's still fairly numb.

I've had one bowel accident and I had been sick with a stomach thing.  It was not pleasant, but I had been asleep and woke up to a mess.  Ugh.  At least it was contained to my underwear and pants.  It's not pleasant thinking about this, but it's my reality.  I'm fortunate to not have bowel problems very often.  I spend a fair amount of time on the toilet but it's contained and not the opposite problem.

I still have some hope that I can get stronger and stronger.  I honestly haven't really been trying that much.  I have a treadmill that stares at me everyday and I just ignore it.  I really need to become friends with it again.
