Good for you!
I went to Italy in 2023...and I got travel insurance which covered me medically. I have lung cancer so did not want to be stuck there. My BCBS Medigap policy would hav covered 80% of emergency care, but I put out $400 to have better coverage in any evetuality.
I wore a mask on the flight in US...it was croded....then airplane food is bad so not hard to do. The flight to Europe had lots of empty seats
I especially appreciated the wheel chair assistance. Wow, it took me through all the lines and to the right gate ...well worth a good tip!

Well done! Your story is a reminder to not impose limits on ourselves that do not need to exist. Safe travels to all

I did my first trip in a wheelchair, too.

When airline staff were pushing me to the front of the security line, I heard someone a little distance away joke quietly to a friend "I should have come in a wheelchair!"

I was briefly tempted to turn around and say "sure, but then you have to stay in it for your whole trip," but I decided I could be better than that.

I hope he learns some day how ignorant his "joke" was, without having to go through what we're going through. And I forgive him.
