Wonderful to enjoy a really cold shower again.

I prefer lukewarm showers
I measured the temp using a kitchen thermometer 30C.

Maybe a daft question but with so many different airlines taking away the seat air vents on the plane is one allowed to take a USB charged fan onboard ?
Reason I ask in medical is my husband has temperature control issues and some planes can be extremely warm . We would be in business class though I doubt that makes a difference

Saw someone travelling with a little fan today.......

Do you put your feet in the shoes of a regular punter - or do you call in favours?

Figured I had enough on recently with my SCC removal and skin graft, thought I would follow process and see my GP for a specialist referral rather than message a colleague to fast track my self diagnosed L4 nerve root impingement which was subsequently confirmed on MRI and at consult.
As it only bothered me with night time neuropathic pain and very disturbed sleep, I could manage.

Fast forward to yesterday.
After L4/5 transforaminal epidural and DRG pulsed radio frequency, I had my first decent sleep in 14 weeks without buzzing/burning foot pain.

Having retired from the practice, much has changed and not many familiar faces.
But apparently word got around that TKWIW !
The nursing care was excellent for me but also to the other patients (eyes and dental).

And to bring it back to how I think this relates to AFF, I know my limitations with sitting/standing.

My TR "Boeing Birthday to Bali" for Mr Flyfrequently in September outlined our compromises.
We would fly MEL-DPS 737 J direct for him, and home via SYD A330 J for me.
Dare I say, I can pinpoint my downfall
