It was quite the journey getting home. Was supposed to be home Friday evening, but didn’t actually get in until Saturday afternoon. United rerouted the plane to Las Vegas…didn’t get to see a show or gamble…what a wasted trip to Vegas! All because DIA couldn’t keep more than one runway open for de-icing. Needless to say, the frozen pharmaceuticals in my bag did not remain frozen. But they were still cold and after talking with the doctors, they should still be fine.
When I finally arrived at DIA, I was greeted by Tyra and Garrett who surprised me at the airport with a beautiful bouquet of orange roses. I was emotionally broken down at the gesture and finally reconnecting with what was most important…FAMILY!
Returning home was surreal…just crossing the border felt like I was leaving part of me behind but moving in a new direction. It was nice to get caught up…the days of traveling left a toll on my body. I was exhausted! Long walks between terminals and collecting bags, I had more physical exertion in 2 days than I did at the time at the spa. I slept most of the weekend and Garrett left on Monday morning.
Things are somewhat expected…the uncertainty of my next steps in healing. I have not been able to reconcile the inability to retain much nutritional value from my food. I have to find a solution to this and have not been able to make much of a dent in gaining the lost weight. I can feel the desperation and futility of my efforts of gaining most of my nutrients from vegetables and vegetable protein. I feel like I need a miracle. I count on your prayers and God’s grace.
On a positive note…it is so good to be home, in familiar surroundings and sleeping in a comfortable bed. I am slowly receiving all my online treatments. I’m building up an at home routine, where I can continue to fight for the next 3 months.
As I begin to feel better, I will start reaching out to give my thanks for your support!
