My dear friends .. just popping in for a quick update.
I am in the US now for the first time in 13yrs. Its been 7 years since I last set foot on a plane. So much has changed..the airports, the planes, even the vending machines. Feels like I've been in a time warp.
Its my 2nd trip since CFS. The body is more sensitive now so it was interesting noting the response to things I never noticed before like the changes in cabin pressure, response to light, altitude etc. Thankfully it was a short flight snd even though I was sorely tempted to get a wheelchair, I did manage to make it through the airport on my own steam. Today I'm tired but I think I've done so well overall.
Change is a good thing. I hope a change of scenery will help me to make some other changes in my life. To quote my son 'no-one deserves to have their entire lives evaporate'. My power to pray right now is limited but I'm putting the little hope I have into hoping that I find a way forward soon.
Bless you my friends, I know you too have your challenges, some much more trying than mine yet you find a way to keep holding on. More than any other group of people in my life, you are my inspiration.

So glad to have you on US soil for a time. I\'ve found that a change of scenery can really lift your mood. I get terribly ill at airports and have to get a wheelchair, but they often forget to leave me one at my gate even when I\'ve asked for one. Anyway, I digress. Are you visiting family? I hope you have some lovely times and have some great memories to take back home. None of us deserves to have our lives evaporate, but things happen that we would not have chosen. Never give in. Warriors unite! Love you.
You are going through a very difficult time in your life right now Max. I\'m so glad you\'re here!! WELCOME!! I\'m sure the flight was a bit unnerving. I don\'t like flying, but will do it for an emergency. I haven\'t flown since CFS! I\'m sure you had your nervous moments!
Please let us know what you are doing and how you are doing while you are here. I\'m praying that you will be able to connect to your prayer life, and find hope in that. xo
Blessings, my friend! xo
