I was totally wiped out for three days; no other symptoms.....very strange!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185513255737012093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402247635006701650.post-88595121533827018852011-07-19T17:16:02.561-07:002011-07-19T17:16:02.561-07:00Michele - I hope you wore a face mask on the plane...Michele - I hope you wore a face mask on the plane! Some airlines require a Dr.'s note for the mask (not in China of course, where SARS masks are still all the rage.. I have had to get "permission" several times, when my daughter was younger, I put one on her too... While dealing with breast cancer, and flying, I - ask the gentleman next to me if he would mind terribly "turning off" the overhead air. (THAT is indeed a cesspool blowing "right" on you)... I usually didn't pull the "cancer card" but I did on that day, I explained I was undergoing treatment, and really - I couldn't afford to be exposed to any more germs than a plane "already" exposes you to... Perhaps it was my request, or his fear "CANCER" was contagious, he never answered me, but he did ask the attendant if he could move to "any" available seat... She moved him, I turned off that "vent" (then I used my hand sanitizer yet again) and ever so slightly moved my mask - only for coffee! (Those 6 am flights DO require coffee)! I hope and Pray you did not get exposed to a thing, that you had a WONDERFUL time, danced your heart out, AND with a little luck from Mother Nature, it was cooler in those places! You Danced! THAT is what matters! You kick the CANCER closer out of your life - every time you take even the slightest of dance steps... Love and blessings to you! xoxo<br />Always, julia xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
