Hey everyone I first want to say THANKS to all of you who pm me, called, and responded to my prayer request....... YOU ALL are GREAT!!! I talked to my uncle yesterday and he didn't know who I was at first, then when he did couldn't remeber my name called me Michelle, Which I totally understand the poor thing.
He was confused and wanted me there then didn't so I called my dad and we got it straightened out. My uncle thought all of us were coming and my brother and he hates my brother. Now that he knows it is just me and understands that he wants me there. I will be leaving next thurs at 2am to go to the airport my flight leaves at 5am. I am scared poopless to even get on a plane my go****hink i might ask my DR for something to relax me. I am so scared of heights good gosh..... Anyways I know I need to do it. I will be coming home on sunday. I am so excited as he is for me to come. I can say good bye. Thanks again to you all..........
Many Many hugs Marsha

I'm so glad that you're going to see your uncle!
Don't worry about flying! Air travel is actually safer than traveling by bus or car. If you are going to get a sedative to relieve your anxieties, make sure you know how you react to the meds before you go. You don't want to get knocked out; you just want to be calmer.
Remember this: if you have an aisle seat, the travel part of the flight will be like you're in a movie theatre. (You won't even realize you're an a plane!) In fact, if you have headphones, you can watch a current movie. That really makes the time zip by. Or, since you're getting up so ungodly early, you might just want to sleep.

Marsha--I will be thinking of you and praying that your time with your uncle is blessed. May your trip be smooth!

Marsha~I missed your previous post due to being out of town, however it sounds like a good thing that you are going down to see your uncle and getting a chance to say your good byes. I will add you and your uncle to my prayer list. If your doc won't prescribe you something take an anti-histamine and it will make you sleepy (actually some docs prescribe it for mild anxiety) but may not be as strong as some the prescription anti-anxiety meds can be (knock you out for half the day strong). Love & hugs! Nicole
Marsha, I'm so glad you are going and it's true, you will never regret going and spending this precious time with your uncle.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
