Hi mtree...

Have a wonderful trip! Its will be a nice escape even if for a short time.

When you return, then you will continue to deal with everything. So sorry to hear about the kids, but as you said, its good to finally have answers.

Travel safe and have a great time!

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I recently went to Florida with my fiance. Somehow on the trip, I felt much better. I'm not sure if it was the warm temperatures (usually i can't stand heat) or that I just felt emotionally better getting away, but that week was great for me.. I think sometimes we get down on ourselves in treatment and even a pick me up can make u feel better...

I did get tired as it was an exhausting trip but the bf was understanding and we took breaks as necessary..I'm so glad I went!

thank you all.....

everything I needed to hear.... [Big Grin]

for some reason when something good comes
along I feel guilty.. [Roll Eyes]
....and need permission to enjoy something and feel good about it.....

my family and I do need this though and becasue Dh won it I take it as a sign to reconnect with each other....
we are surrounded by medical issues daily....getting away may be the right treatment right now for all 4 of us...

thank you for all the well wishes......it helps me so much!!!

[Smile] mtree
