I'm leaving tomorrow for Orlando, where our ASCOA conference will be held. I have been really busy getting ready for this. We have have 105 attendees coming...times have changed from the days when we had 25 attendees. Growth! I shipped off 13 boxes today, and 4 were shiped yesterday...it's always a bit of a stressful time for me, hoping that I've remembered every detail, and there are many details to make this work. Well, time will tell...but the stress has started!
Heather, Ralph, Keith, Kristeen and Maia are all coming down to Orlando with me. Well, H & R are flying down with me tomorrow, and K, K & M are arriving on Friday morning. It should be a fun time, especially when the conference ends on Saturday at 12:15. One fun thing that we are doing is... the company party is going to be at Epcot on Friday night. We will have dinner in the Great Hall of China, with acrobats, an origami expert, and a dragon dance. Then we'll go to Italy for dessert and fireworks in America. What fun to have Maia there, who was, as she says, "Nana, did you know that I was born in China?" She's the best. That will be so fun, and fun hanging with my "fam" all together. I can't wait.
Today, I went to see a vascular surgeon about the purple, swollen vein in my leg. He thinks it is a superficial flibitis, but sent me to SSH for an ultrasound to rule out DVT, deep vein thrombosis, which is a real problem. But my deep veins were fine...good thing, I don't think they would have let me fly tomorrow if I had DVT. Yikes....that would have been a problem.
So, I'm off off to Florida, and will be back on Sunday night, so won't be blogging for awhile, not that I've done too well lately...slacker am I....But I've had to get ready for Florida! I'm on my off-week right now with the meds, I'll start the 5th round of the clinical trial next Tuesday. It's nice to be off the meds, the taste in my mouth is pretty awful and food is just not awfully appetizing right now...hopefully, that will improve this week, while I'm off the meds.
