How soon can Cara fly home?
Jun 29^th, 2004 at 3:30am

My daughter's surgery is on July 14th and we have plans to fly home to AZ from Rochester, MN on the 18th. I realize it varies from one patient to another. Will be flying two planes...any suggestions on keeping her comfortable. The time is approaching FAST.

DJ - I would like to send a picture of Cara to use for my profile and for all to see right before her surgery. Where should I send it to?

Have a great evening everyone !!!

Carol (Cara's MOM)

Warm Hugs and Prayers, CarasMOM (Carol)

As for the picture, you can send it to me at: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to or

I agree with DJ, flying home is no problem. The only time Tyler had trouble with flying was when we had to jump on a plane 3 hours after getting the staples out that went across his temple. Smiley

Tyler tells everyone that will listen to never get on a plane after getting staples removed from your head.
He loved flying to and from the surgery though. We just got a few weird looks, although I made sure to have his staples covered for the flight home. Smiley

Some people just like to stare.

Rena, this is precisely how I feel right now. I told my hubby that I look partially like Mrs. Frankenstein and will be the full Mrs. F when all is done Embarrassed

. I am hoping to visit the cancer center at Stanford before I leave for a cute bandana or something to hide the scars. I am such a reserved person and do not care for ANY extra attention. My hopes are to be healed and ready for work on 8/9. Hope all is well and my prayers are with all MM sufferers and survivors!

Kristina,
I was surprised at Tyler's reaction at being stared at, he would stare just as hard back at them. Smiley

I had thought he was shy, but the staring just made him mad enough to be rude back!

Here's something that surprised me though: At the airport on the way back, Tyler still had 17 staples in one side of his head, a woman comes up and said, "Did you have a bad fall on your bike?" I can't figure out what kind of fall on a bike would cause such scars? Smiley

But at least she asked instead of staring.
