Hello everyone,
I'm back to Iowa. WOO HOO. THE HEI and St. Vincent Medical Teams were phenominal, but there's no place like home. We arrived about 8PM. Flights were great. Super nice weather. Had a wheel chair to get me through the initial check in stages and then walked the rest of the gates with the plane changes. Did get the disability upgrade to board first and so glad I did. We were able to sit right in the front. On the SW Airlines this means extra leg room, so I had plenty of room to stretch.
Plans to relax with the IA v ISU game on TV today. Didn't sleep through the night, but had significant period of rest. I'm guessing this may be the norm for a while with the steroids. Feeling great though. Adjusting to the SSD. My eyes are still twitchy so it makes for some interesting moves with my coordination. Asked my husband to pull out the kids' old night lights as I found getting up in the dark to be especially challenging last night. Just having to take it slow, as you all know. My biggest challenge right now will likely be the hurdles I create for myself (time and patience). I keep telling myself I just need to be selfish right now and rest. Easier said than done, but I truly do not want to overdo and have a setback. Things are progressing remarkably according to my drs. so I sure don't want to mess it up.
All for now and thanks again for your support. I speak of you all to my family and friends so often.
Kathy
