Hi @~Christina. Yes, our flights were nice and we're in NJ now. As it's early in the visit it's hard to write a lot. It's a painful visit. My brother's appearance is heart-breaking and my sister was crying for some of the time during my first visit. Today she and I will spend a part of the day with our brother at the hospital, as he gets another chemo treatment.

I feel numb in many ways. Also at times prone to anger outbursts...towards my husband, who doesn't deserve it. Trying to keep it all in check.

I forgot to bring my Synthroid on the trip. Luckily my old GP in NJ submitted a three-month supply script to my old favorite pharmacy. Fortunately, this med is not expensive purchased fully out of pocket in the US.

I'm sorry I'm behind in reading posts and am delaying some responses until I have more time to do so, thoughtfully.
