We made it to Colorado, for the follow up with my neurosurgeon.
By the time we got here I already felt like I could sleep for a week. The flight was brutal with turbulence. Probably one of my worst experience with turbulence on a commercial flight. It was hard on my body and I’m feeling all the travel in my body. Then because I have the wheelchair service, they meet you while you are deboarding outside the plane.
The man pushing the wheelchair, when we landed in CO, was the fastest moving man I have ever had push my wheelchair. We were at the Denver airport and he said “this is the way fastest way to go”. Meaning going against the flow of tired and grumpy people and cutting corners. I got really bad motion sickness and almost taken out a few times by unsuspecting passengers with hockey and ski bags, and a few close calls with strollers. 🫢
I was so worried about losing my mom, was who following us with our luggage. I feel a lot of vulnerability in situations like this where I can’t turn my head around and have the reassurance she is still with me. It was a very stressful situation.
I had brought some stuff to work on in the plane, but could only read while everyone was boarding, (we sat in the very back) and during the few times the plane didn’t feel like a roller coaster.
We made it to the hotel and then settled in after we went to the only food open on Easter, which was a sports bar, full of older men, with a playlist of N’Sync, The Fray, and Jordan Sparks, and a lot of early 2000s. The playlist did not fit the vibe of the place and the people there. 😂😂
I was still feeling worked up from the stress of travel and the nerves and anticipation of tomorrow’s appointment, so I opened a scripture word search my friend sent me. It arrived the day before we left, God’s perfect timing, because I did not expect what she did.
My friend, wrote me a beautiful message on the inside of the cover and then covered the book with clever jokes written on sticky notes. It brought tears to my eyes and I laughed so hard my mom wanted to see why.
These are the thoughtful gifts and creativity that shows up when I need it, because God’s people follow His promptings. This was a reminder to me of how a small thing like a word search puzzle and jokes on sticky notes, can have such a heavy impact on someone.
Thank you, Hannah!! 🤍🤍🤍
Today will be a day of rest and preparation for our appointment tomorrow. We have our list of questions and concerns we have to discuss with him and I will finally get the whole story of what went on inside my head. 🧠
Thank you everyone for your prayers,
