Home from the UK
Hello all
We are home just over a week now. It was a wonderful trip. So many
adventures. I still have my young guest here so we are yet busy with school set to start for my teens in a week or so.
I made it through all my adventures and just two hours away from
home it all unraveled. We had been on flight for almost seven hours and
my health failed. I had to get oxygen
in flight. The flight ended with the medivac team coming inboard to
remove me. I never inconvenienced so many people at one time. I had to
be taken my ambulance to hospital. I spent the night there. We proved
out no heart attack and blood clots. Possibly altitude illness and or
possibly my pressure bottomed out. NO one knows yet why. I have to
follow up with the cardiac doc on the 6th.
I was so mad that my goal was interrupted.
My ivig Saturday went well.
All in all I really did do it. I took a trip that sent me over
5000 miles from home. I was loved and favored all the way. I spent time helping others and seeing a reflection that reminded me who I am. Even getting to see that I really like who I am.
If I do fly again it has to be for shorter distance to work up to
long flights. Now I have a mess of a house to work on. Getting kids
ready for school and bills to pay.
Life is good and the grass is greener but the weeds still hide
among every lawn. :) There are however a few things that I want to
implement here.
Thank you Jaye and Lisa for the hugs.
I was hard to tell of how it all ended but I still succeeded in overcoming my fear. I am living with NOT dying of cvid. I do hope that my husband can see me now as powerful.
We took the teens all up to the Grand Canyon last week. I rented a
wheel chair for the altitude still did not agree with me. We also took
them to the Meteor Crater. Little trips and resting a lot. My energy was
still good after almost five week interval.
So after four years of ivig I am so much more able. Still getting faced with limits but I will continue my education of learning to live within them.

So happy to hear that over all your trip went well. I can so relate to the doing what you can and resting a bit. We need to take care of ourselves and sometimes that means resting.
Take care, Lisa :O)
