Ha Ha Anthem #7 - Viva la France

This week I ventured out of my bed and into an airplane to travel to New York.    This trip was to celebrate my uncle's 70th birthday.

I endured a really thorough pat down at Fort Lauderdale airport with a TSA Agent called Barbara and laughed with her about how she was the first person to feel me up that morning.  

I was escorted around in a wheelchair through Fort Lauderdale airport and LaGuardia airport (never realized how much walking one does at an airport) and had the privilege to be the first boarded guest on our airplane.

It was a chaHAhallenging experience being in New York and not being able to walk around with ease. 
I was totally grateful for the wheeled walker my Doc lent me.  WSM Noah mcGyvered the walker with some furry pink and green dustpads so my hands have soft cushioning and I can still be the fashionista that I am.

Whenever I felt pain, I focused on my blessings (big hotel room, easy access for my walker from the bed to the bathroom, omazing hotel staff and concierge, NY cabs, patient family members, delicious food, OMazing husband and wonderful weather).   I totally got a new perspective on how it feels to be challenged in one's own body and to surrender and accept what others have to offer.

I fly hoHOhome today and I am looking forward to getting back into my bed and staying there for the next week so the swelling can subside and the bone can heal.

This chaHAhallenge has brought me awareness to all the gifts in my life.  It totally granted me perspective (last week's prayer).  And while I have been doing no dancing, I am in AbunDANCE for the blessings I hahahave and the perspective granted and the attitude to take it all in stride.
