Fl Florida vacation

[chubby2x22]

Survived the journey to orlando just as a lightning storm hit. Two hours wait for luggage and wheelchair, remembered happy London's meditation and breathing which got me through. I sincerely hope Fran is ok. Today the sunshine is glorious so inhalers to hand we are family visiting. Maybe I should stop these jaunts across the pool, I do feel less able these days, but onwards and upwards..not yet hugs to you all jane.

Hi Jane, hope you have a fantastic time and all will be well. I also hope the lovely Fran is ok. Xxxxx

All sounds good, Jane. Yes, I still use the lovely Fran’s meditation suggestions. I think she’s back in Switzerland now, but I know no more. Enjoy the rest of your hols 🌸 xx

My partner and I are looking to fly to NZ from UK very long flight he has COPD and heart failure I am worried but he is determined any tips plz

[chubby2x22 in reply to maria6962]

Hi Maria, it's good your partner wants to fly to nz, long journey but you could get stopovers, and make sure to request airport assistance when booking your flights especially when changing flights, the departure gates seem to get further apart. Health insurance in nz is covered I think being commonwealth. But do not take my word check it out. Hope you have a lovely trip jane.

So glad happy Frans meditation got you through, I do so miss her on this site. Must have been a frightening experience for you. Its a long way to go, but must be worth it for you, to see family and have lovely sunshine, have a great holiday x

Hi Jane, Wishing you a Great time in Orlando. I too miss Fran, and her valuable Medical Advise. Wish I could Fly, Can't due to only 26% FEV1 or less at the moment, waiting for second Procedure for Blingy Valves, maybe after this next op I will have increased my FEV1 so Onwards & Upwards. Love n Hugs. xxx

Thank you caro, I read the posts regularly in the hope that your new bling is happening soon, so that you can go to Spain., we seem to be in the hands of the nhs and there's no rushing them. Take care, keep your fingers crossed, x

Excuse me Jane while i dig into the ribs of Carino Carolina,you can fly my love,even with your blingy lungs,certainly to the motherland as it's such a short flight,you can borrow my poc if you like subject to your hypoxic challenge test (fit to fly)being ok upto 5 lpm.think about it my love.

Sorry back to you Jane and do enjoy your trip to Florida,i have been through Miami 6 times on route to Bolivia and i know how humid it can become at the time of thunderstorms,so you did well to survive and long may you continue your family visits.

Love Ski's and the scruffy one.xx

[Hacienda in reply to skischool]

Hola Carino, No can't Fly, Amy (Consultant) said too risky, and The Insurance wouldn't cover me with a Low Lung Function, A Possible Pneumothorax, better to be safe than Sorry, I take her Advise My Dear Skis. Maybe once I have my valves Redone and Feeling the strength. Abrazos y Besos. xxxx

Wonderfull to know nothing stopped you from flying to visit family across the pond. You seem to have handled it all in your stride. Looking forward to a couple of Florida sunshine photo's? Enjoy!!
