I'm going to Florida next week!
I got an appointment, next Thursday the 29th with Dr. Garcia. I will be arrriving in Florida on Wednesday the 28th, in the afternoon and leaving Saturday the 31st, early morning. This will give me all day Thursday and Friday for the appointment, meeting the research people and signing up, then all the required tests and pre-op stuff. I am having to go alone, since we can't afford for both of us to go. That kinda sucks; but I suppose I will be busy. I will probably just hang out at the hotel and sleep in my spare time, not crazy about being in a strange place alone. It cost me $800 for the airfare, hotel and rental car (which was cheap for this area) Now, I just have to come up with enough money to pay for me to get back and stay for surgery. Please keep praying.
Kathy

Kathy, I'm so happy to hear you got your appt. w/ Dr. Garcia. That's really good news. You'll do fine traveling alone. The first time is always kinda weird, but like you indicated, you will be very busy, which is all true. It's one thing to go outside your comfort zone, which can be a growing experience, but it's another to go outside of it while in pain. But you'll do it. You're strong and determined. We're pulling for you!
