Ready for my Trip to see my family

Well, it was touch and go for a while but I am packed, the Taxi is booked for 8:15am and I am off to the Airport. With all the packing etc I hope I can get out of bed in the morning. My hand luggage is almost full with the medications I need for 6 weeks, not much room for anything else.

Thankfully, no surgery involved but lots more medications as they increased some, changed some,

deleted some. I am no longer on Warfarin it was changed to Apixaban which regulates itself, no more visits to the warfarin clinic. I have been told I now have induced steroid diabetes. If they get the Toci infusions sorted by the time I return, I can start to reduce the Prednisilone 20mg and then

hopefully, I can come off the diabetes medications.

I had my first infusion the beginning of June and I felt so much better, no side effects. I can't wait to get started again once the Clinic sorts out the staffing issues.

In the meantime, I am going to spend 6 wonderful weeks with my son, his wonderful wife and my adorable twin granddaughters. I am sure they will all take my mind of my RD pain.

See you all when I get back. Take care, I wish and hope you will all keep well and be in much less pain.

God bless, Sue xx

Thank you Suzannedale, yes it is Toronto I fly into but my son lives in the east suburbers, a very nice place not far from the lake.

They get a lovely cool breeze. I am shattered now, hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight. I am so looking forward to all the hugs and kisses from my granddaughters.

Thank you for your lovely message.

Take care, Sue xx

Hope you have a wonderful time! I'm sure that your family can't wait for you to arrive, and now the stress of wondering if you would make it has gone, hopefully your RD will settle.

Have a good journey, I look forward to hearing all about your holiday on your return. ENJOY!! M xx

Have a wonderful holiday Sue. You will enjoy yourself so much hopefully any aches pains etc will be manageable. X
