I sat down to write my usual post — about chronic illness, career, issues that move me.   But,  I’m distracted by my  “to do” list:  Work (did I email my virtual assistant about posting next week’s blog?),   Personal   (did I tell Dan, taking care of our dog, Iko, that Iko needs bran with his food?), should I take the extra jeans (?)  …. and  send itineraries to family members!

Jake and I are flying to Buenos Aires, Argentina tomorrow - we’re going to visit our daughter, EmmaRose, an NYU student who is studying there (if you call a course in Tango dancing studying!)

In case you’re wondering - I’m very excited but, as always, also nervous about “symptom” management.  I just wrote that post about traveling — and that was a train to NYC!   This is a 15 hour flight (ok - with a 2 hour layover). A long time in a small seat … my feet getting swollen (remember the bunion surgery?) and my back contorting. Pressurized cabins - and bad sinuses. Have to get to the bathroom — but we’re not allowed to move????  (Do I have enough poise pads?)

So here are my plans so I can have fun.  Ace bandage the foot on the plane, bring ipod to fall asleep on plane (and muscle relaxer for my legs that twitch).  For BA - Good walking shoes, nothing to carry but light purse (no laptop! or even palm pilot! - and no stopping in internet cafes to check email!),   car tour (rather than walk around the city as we normally might).  One of our destinations is Iguazu Falls - one of the 7 wonders of the world!

Oh - and  don’t forget to take my Online Survey - when you do, you get to download my new report, Perspective - a real situation seen from an employee and a managers point of view.

Adios!
