Update

It's been a few days since I arrived here and all in all I am doing OK. My health has been a bit up and down, some days feeling not so bad and other days, like today, needing to stay in bed.

I saw the local Dr for a check up and he sent me for blood tests, and two ultra sounds. The first ultra sound for the front of my neck to check my Carotid Artery. The second one for the back of my neck, where on the left side, a row of Lymph Nodes are raised. I see him next week for all the results.

I have been able to order a vial of my B12 and gave myself an injection this morning. I started with half the usual dose and plan to work back up slowly.

I have to give Qantas a great big plug here. They were fantastic! I couldn't believe the difference from the last time I travelled with them, just over two years ago. I was treated with kindness and respect the whole time. They even wheeled me and my luggage out of the airport in Sydney and got me settled into a Taxi before saying goodbye. Wow, what great service.

Was the trip worth it? Even though I'm stil recovering, it sure was!!!!
