@rwinney I'll be bummed for you Rachel if by October they are still requiring the 14 day quarantine. It is such an oppressively burdensome requirement. I am not sure when I will be able to visit family in Connecticut due to this. With the 2 week quarantine we are talking about 3-4 weeks being gone from home. I prefer not to leave Linda that long and I doubt she would feel good enough to make the drive. And aside from that who can sit in a motel room for 2 weeks and not go stir crazy? Does anyone else feel these days like they are a character in some bizarre sci-fi horror flick? Anyway, I hope you can go, sans the 2 weeks in the isolation chamber. Oh, and good news about the eye specialists. Best, Hank

@jesfactsmon Thanks for your reply Hank. Yes, it's a tough one. I will not be away from my family, let alone pay for and live in a hotel room for 5 weeks. Crazy! All I know is my air fare voucher is good through Dec. 2021 so I need to get to Mayo by then. I will be extremely disappointed if its not this Fall, and frustrated as it is my goal for improvement and clarification of my health, both mentally and physically.
Leaving Linda sounds difficult for that period of time. I understand her discomfort of riding. I will be riding in a car for almost 3 hours, next weekend, to my Fathers cabin with my children. I have not attempted such a long ride for a couple years and have no clue how I'm going to manage BUT, life can not keep passing me by. Praying that my back co-operates that day. If I'm in a flare of legs and/or back, it could be ugly. My car seats are heated so I will ride with the heat on high, laying back and unfortunately, drugged up. I hate saying that but, it is what it is. I'm very excited to have this family time so nothing will stop me!
Let's keep hoping for the best and that you get to see your family someday soon, somehow. Hi to Linda!
Be well-
Rachel
