Home again October 29/2018

Home again, Home again, Home again. Another two weeks under my belt. Coming home this time with great news, my cancer markers are great and I don’t have to go back for a year. Yippie !!!!!

But of course coming home is always an adventure. Cathy and I were picked up at our motel at 10 am…so far so good. We got to the airport on time and boarded our plane all on time. We had good seats beside each other and all was well. Until we got turbulence in the air I found myself praying for us to land safe in Calgary. No sleep for me on this flight as tired as I was. I was scared most of the flight. I did watch a movie that helped time go by. Thank gawd. Finally arrived in Calgary, off to customs. That is were all hell broke loose. I had a customs officer from hell. Fist off she wouldn’t let Cathy and I go up together. Then she questioned me why I was over my limit in money to come back home. I told her I was bringing supplements with me for my cancer. She asked what? How much? Why? And why I couldn’t get these supplements in Canada? I was very calm and nice to her, she asked when I had done this last? I told April…she said don’t lie I can tell right here on my screen. I told her I was not lying. She took a red felt pen put a line across my paperwork and said go that way. I caught up to Cathy who had a great customs officer and was going right through.

We were sent to secondary. I have never been there before, scary, I felt like a criminal. Everything was bolted down or chained down. It felt like you were in a jail. A security person told us go sit it will be a while and oh yea. You will miss your next flight. He said they had to wait for my suitcases to be recovered and brought to them so they could see what I had in them. Cathy and I looked at each other……oh boy….we saw a few people go through and a guy who was talking back get roughed up and they emptied all his stuff out and went through everything he owned. Scary place!!!! Finally after two hours a customs officer called my name. He said where are your suitcases? Cathy and I looked at each other and said we don’t know? He went to check and said the other officer forgot to put a stop on them. He was not sure where they were either. But that there had been a mistake and I was allowed to bring supplements back for my own medical use. We were free to go. REALLY? Off we went. Thank Gawd.

Then we had to go to WestJet and book another flight home, because we had missed our flight only by about 15 minutes. But none the less we missed it. Another grumpy person at WestJet, we told here the customs officer said because we were detained our flight would be free. But the WestJet lady said “no” we don’t have do that, they have no say over us. But!!!! I am in a good mood today so I will give you free flights, that should have cost us $100.00 dollars. We asked for the flight number to give to Des so he could pick us up now 3 hours later. She told us it was an hour flight ? I asked her if we were stopping somewhere else along the way. No laughing, maybe Red Deere? She told us small planes go much slower. Turned out to be a 32 minute flight. She was wrong. I knew it. Lol lol. Anyway we finally got onto the flight after another 1 hour wait on the tarmac, turns out they forgot to file a flight plan….a guy can’t make this up. Cathy and I didn’t get to sit together on this flight, and the turbulence were much worse that the last flight. Please God just get me home, more praying. Finally we landed safely. We got to Edmonton now worried about where our luggage was, we went to the WestJet office and there it was all our luggage. All my supplements still in the bag. I was so happy. I am sure my Jamie who knew of no problems that night because he is working away and fast asleep by that time. I know he would be happy I had all these supplements intact, a years supply, lots of money and he works so hard so I can stay healthy. I finally got home about 11:15 pm, a good 3 hours late. I was so happy to step in my door that night. Safe and in my own home ❤️❤️ my own bed ❤️

So back to reality again. But this time I know my health is good and I have a whole year before I go back to Mexico. I am going to really enjoy this next year. I am going to try to worry less and just get on with my life. The love of my life (Jamie) has been working away all this time and I am going to spend the next couple of months taking care of him instead of him caring for me. He has been my rock through all this cancer stuff and worked so hard.. So I could go get this special México treatment and have my life back. Now together we can go out and face this big bad world. Putting all the bad behind his. I love you Jamie and thanks for all you do for me. Now my turn to be there for you, can’t wait to be together❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Today’s saying : you will never speak to anyone more then you speak to yourself in your head. Be kind to yourself 🌸
