TRAVELING

With our economy in dire straits now I know that some will not be able to travel far, but if it is something that you had wanted to do go for it, who knows what tomorrow will bring.
When we went to San Diego between surgeries, it was the best that my husband could have done for me. To relax and enjoy the fantastic view from the pool area of the mountains that surrounded the hotel was uplifting mentality, physically, and spirituality and that helped me prepare for the second surgery.
Before we go anywhere, be it in the US or over seas, I call the doctors office to tell them we where going away and that I need records of what was done to me. They sent me copies of Doctors statement of what was done and how I am right now, latest blood work, copies of the reports of ct scans and x-rays. I also made a sheet that have all my doctors listed with phone numbers, list of medications that I am taking or had taken but not longer like the heated chemotherapy, vaccinations, and allergies, that I have no spleen and list the operations that I had done from newest to oldest.
If something happens, then I am ready, I travel to enjoy life to the fullest but you also have to consider all possibilities that could happen and be prepared the best you can.
