Made it home, although it wasn't a fun trip home - they told us that we'd be delayed ,and the told anyone who was connecting in Newark that we probably wouldn't make our connecting flight, because of how large the airport is. We asked if they could call ahead and let folks know we were coming, and were told they don't hold planes for anyone. "ANYone, Ma'am....I've only seen it once in my life and it was when 50 people would be coming for an international flight". Uh huh.
We landed at Newark, and then of course we couldn't just pull up to the gate - no, we had to wait to be towed in. Finally get there, and then no one listened to the steward's request that people without connecting flights stay seated...by the time I got off the plane I was ready to scream, I didn't want to get stuck overnight in NJ. The group of 4 of us trying to get to Manchester hauled ass - the three others all being young, so after the first few minutes I was NOT keeping up with them - but we made it.
I'm all done with connecting flights, and if I have to do it again, Im padding the times.
Family visiting this week, Glenn's youngest brother from CA and his wife, we're getting them at Logan tonight - haven't seen them since his other brother's wedding, and that marriage already ended, so you can tell it's been a very long time. They'll stay with us a few nights, then they rented a giant houseboat in Boston in the Charleston Navy Yard that is big enough for everyone including the kids, the dogs, and Glenn's twin and his wife - so we're off to stay in Boston for a couple of nights - should be fun. They scheduled this whole trip around tickets to see the Red Sox - needless to say he's a big fan. =P
1 more week till my 6 month post op MRI and appointment with the neurosurgeon. Part of me is highly curious as to what the hell my brain and skull look like now. Part of me is scared to see any regrowth or remaining tumor. I don't know that I could handle going back to what I felt like before. =(
