Decisions...Details...Oh dear, oh dear.......

It's the holidays already...
For me, that means contemplating visiting my parents and my wonderful furbabies in Cleveland.
But....let's see.....
Well, first, I've gotta make my reservations.
Then, I'd have to give Baxter at least a two-week notice, so that means I couldn't leave before early December no matter how much I might want to.
Then, there's the Moonster. I Googled the subject. Many, many "PD" patients take their HomeChoice cycler with them when they travel, and many, many "PD" patients maintain jobs where they have to travel by plane regularly. How the airlines handles the machines is nothing. They're educated on that...they know, if you tell them it's your dialysis machine...your lifeline...they'll let you take it on the plane. I should likely travel lightly, luggage-wise, so that I can manage the Moonster as well.
Soooooo damn much to do just to take a little holiday vacation!!!!!
If it weren't for my furbabies, I'd be wondering, if it's all worth it.
Now.....Probably Dec. 20 would be a good day to leave here.
If I plan this perfectly, I'll be able to stay in Cleveland a few weeks, and be there when it's time to take my furbabies to the "v-e-t." Then, I could probably come back here, mid-to-late January. There's Baxter again to consider, though. I think they come at the end of the month now. They just did a route change on me...yes, I get an end-of-the-month delivery now. OK then...perfect.
Forgive me. I'm just using this blog to lay out all the details and have them here to look at...that might help me get things underway, because otherwise, I won't want to.
Thanks for letting me think "out loud," in writing.
