I leave after midnight at 3am on the bus to the airport here in Mexico to leave for the USA after my summer down here. Things aren't right. I'm still not 100% since I posted here on the 25th that I was happy to finish my work here in Mexico, but not feeling great. Two days spent mostly in bed to get my strength up for traveling haven't changed that yet.

Feeling physically bad like I do, I can't get my mental concentration all together. I've got connecting flights to take from here in Mexico back to the US. I'm worried I'll space out and miss a connection, ya know? I made myself get out and walk last night. Felt terrible. Hope I'm in shape for walking airports now, though, flying back to the States from here in Mexico after midnight tonight. In June JFK airport was really tough for me to walk.

Support welcome.

I'll be thinking about you.

Please call the airline and tell them you're not well and need help. There's a cost - maybe $100 - but it sounds like it would be worth it. They will meet your flight and transport you by wheelchair or cart to your connecting flight. There's no shame in getting the help you need plus peace of mind for the journey.

Big hug for you Muji….. I'm so sorry that you're feeling rough..... I agree with Donna.... I hope that you'll reach out for help if you need it.....xo

Good idea--wheel chair assistance! Yes!

StrengthofMind 07/27/2019

Better to get the wheelchair assistance than to land in a heap somewhere in the airport. That would really send the anxiety off the meter. Lots of hugs and support.

Triple hugs muji~

I second the wheelchair assistance. Get any help you can get. Traveling solo can be confusing my itself but when not feeling well, it’s harder.

SimpsonsOK 07/27/2019

Muji, I contacted the airline and said I would need wheelchair assistance. (I was flying American.) Met me in Dallas, then Baltimore, then Baltimore again for Connecticut flight, then Connecticut again for Dallas flight, then Dallas. Charge was nothing, although I did tip each person who transported me. Hope you get this in time. Safe travel hugs.

Hope all is well. Triple hugs. Sorry you're in crisis mode. Hope you get the assistance you need, that has been suggested.

I'm going to request the wheelchair assistance at check in. That's a load off my mind!

I had a nap since writing the post starting this thread, and got up to have chicken soup at the corner restaurant. No appetite. Too nauseous. Bummer.

Now I'll try to get back to bed for a few hours' sleep before I get up at 2am to get that 3am bus to the airport. Thanks for the wheel chair idea, that's going to make the difference for me.

mujicaptsd 07/28/2019

Oh, lilmiss. Didn't get to sleep. Just not feeling that great. But I'll be awake on time to catch that 3am airport shuttle then, right? Thanks for sending support and hugs. Back atcha. Hope things are ok with you today.

Back in the US Back in the US Back in the USSR!

That Beatles song's been playing in my head since we just landed in the States from Mexico a little while ago. Our Mexico-USA leg of the trip was delayed for 5 hours. Whew! But now from here I only have one more plane to take and I'll be home.
Thank you for your prayers. They sustained me on a long journey today.

Sending strength and lightness to you Muji. Make sure you rest up when you get home.

Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
