Thank you so much for the well wishes, (((((Everybody))))!!! I did make it; I guess I didn't write right away because I can't say that things went without incident. I did have a lot of anxiety/panic, and spent a lot of time in the hotel room. I also had to cancel out on a few things, and really didn't do any sightseeing, because I wanted to spend my 'well' time with the people I was visiting.
The good news is that I truly did enjoy the time that I was able to spend with my friends, and the flying itself was not problematic. I just seem to not be able to handle any kind of 'razzle-dazzle' anymore at all, but that IS OK. I feel good that I didn't cancel out altogether from fear, and that I didn't hide out the ENTIRE time.
I missed being here, though, and was glad to get back. I'm grateful that I have done a fair amount of traveling, etc., 'in my past life'; it makes the current situ. easier to take.
I was also really worried about whether I would remember how to be a 'real person'; how to interact socially, etc.. I realized how .....[can't think of the right word... freakish?...sub-human?... no, those are too drastic and dramatic, but something more than 'out of practice'] I feel 'now' as opposed to 'then'. Hmmm.
Well, anyway, ((((((((LMO, Tomi, Mary Alice, Wendy, Sweet Fuzzy, Susan, Emmy and Nightdream))))))); thanks again so much for thinking of me and for your supportive replies.
With affection and respect, Jill
