Lara wow!!!
I wish I was as brave as you to travel by plane alone!

I drove down to Boston last August to attend Journey Forward ( like Walk it off in Toronto) for a month. I was alone the whole month except one weekend where my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came for a visit. Between treatments and sleeping, I would go shopping, take off for the whole day discovering the scenic East Coast around Boston or just hanging out at a beach.
I couldn't believe the amenities they have! The first beach I visited at, I hadn't even brought a bikini to tan in, I was in jeans!! Not very chic but I figured no one would recognize me. ????
There was even a 'welcoming committee' they arrived with a beach chair and even pushed me along the boardwalk and onto the beach. The lifeguard told me to make a sign if I needed anything or when I was ready to leave!! Amazing service, all it was all free!
My husband flew down and we drove home together but it was a great month despite being there alone. It was something I had to do, along with the workout at JF three times a week. Thank god for email, Skype and FaceTime!

Upon my return I returned to work, gradually working up from two half days per week to 4 full days. I have been laid up for the past month due to my skiing injury but when I get back to work, I am going to give three days a try as four was too tiring. My rehab centre has an excellent socio-professional support team and they have been very instrumental in this success. There are still details to figure out as I won't be able to keep my post if I can't work full time, but my employer is great and are going to support me in finding me something else that will work, scary but I have to have faith that all will work out.
