Kathy, I'm so happy to hear you got your appt. w/ Dr. Garcia. That's really good news. You'll do fine traveling alone. The first time is always kinda weird, but like you indicated, you will be very busy, which is all true. It's one thing to go outside your comfort zone, which can be a growing experience, but it's another to go outside of it while in pain. But you'll do it. You're strong and determined. We're pulling for you!
