Me & the Daughter for last Jamaican trip

[Schuttzie]

Melissa, what an inspiration to us all and you have me teary, too! I can see your zest and love of life shining through. You have a wonderful spirit and genuine courageous outlook. Many blessings to you and your family!

My hope is that you have a healing and relaxing time in Negril. Thank you, for sharing your story!

I also have a non curable medical condition but no where near as serious as yours and I only find comfort and suffer no symptoms of my disease when I am there. It is such a comforting and magical place

Oh I'm just sick, The best laid plans and all that Family emergency came up, so I won't be making my trip after all. One bit of luck I was able to cancel the flight within 24 hrs so that worked out well, but sure hate this happened as I was so looking forward to the trip! The good news is though, it makes it almost a dead cert that I can bring my DAUGHTER with me, and come in June instead! I'm gonna say actually it's probably working out for the best, as I really am still pretty wonky & taking a big trip is probably not the best thing in the world at this time to do, be MUCH better to have the daughter with me, and then we can BOTH have a little fun!

Well, then too a bit more good news, my Long Term Disability claim was just approved too, from work, OMG that is such a relief! It won't be a lot, but at least it'll off-set that horrendous COBRA insurance payment that I have to make each month now, ya'll wouldn't BELIEVE how much that cost, it's outrageous! And it's been sucking the life out of the bank account, LOL... now at least the LTD payment will off-set it some. I still need to get over to Social Security & see what can be done for me there, can probably get set up with them too, but WHEW, I just have enough energy for one baby step at a time, LOL!

Well ya'll, anyways I'm gonna be watching the board and see ya'lls trip reports and pics, ya'll take some good pics and how about some Vine videos, that'd be awesome! Then I can take my trip through YOUR eyes, hee hee!
