On the plane again

Post by Jim @ Jawa »

18 hours we get started on our flight to Seattle, over night in Manila. Then nonstop to Honolulu. 4 hours there. Then nonstop to Seattle. This is a one way trip. The VA claims to need more that 90 day for appointments to be seen by the clinics I need to be seen by, hence the oneway travel. This Honolulu rout cuts one airport, one flight, 3 hours off the trip and almost 3 hundred $ off the whole trip.
That being said we do not know how long we will be there.
I will try to keep you folks informed. Our next planed "WAY-POINT" will be Manila.
Free Medical, my ass.
;) :evil:

Gawd, makes me tired just thinking about a trip like that. Did too many when I was in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club.

yup this flight cuts San Francisco to Seattle out and replaces it with Honolulu to Seattle. broke my glasses so I am having trouble seeing this computer.
My bad luck kicked in a week before. Water system quick, $200 to fix that, then the water dispenser. Through it out the back door.
In Manila developed a boil on my ass and road it all the way to Seattle.
On the forth we walked 2 block to the store. on the walk back even my 4 wheel walker couldn't keep my feet under me and I went down on the sidewalk. Try as I might I and Maria and another woman could not get me up. A young man driving a new Mercedes stoped and the three of them, poured me in the front set.
I managed to get to my door and clasped again. By Friday the 5th. I was in so much pain. At 06:00 we were at the VA ER. After a sleepless night. Got 2 antibiotics and told to return on Sunday. The Doc. then lanced it and packed it so it would drain and a new antibiotic. My whitey-tighties tell me that the drain is working. I can now set down without crying.
All the type-O is because I can hardly see this keyboard.
:cry:
