I have to give you credit for attempting a trip like that in the condition you were in!
I do have a trip to NYC planned for September...that's where my family is, and I miss everyone like crazy. I usually go every Spring, but thanks to the big C I've missed two May trips. Well, I think September is going to be just as nice, and there's a ticket to "Hello Dolly" with one of my idols, Bette Midler, waiting for me at my sister's place.

I thought about it a little more, and it may have been, perhaps partly, because I had been taking pain meds for my recent infection and wound...maybe I was getting close to being addicted? I never took a lot, but for two or three weeks there I couldn't have made it through a day without knowing I could get some relief. I'm so happy that medical magic worked and healed me so well. And I'm so happy that I'm happy, again.
