OT: Scared To Fly!!!

I am flying down to So CA in a couple weeks, and am having round one of my plastics done down at Cosmed Clinic. I'm excited and of course nervous as I am worried about the painful recovery.

I'm also nervous about flying.....I literally HATE to fly. I will do it, but I really HATE it....nothing about it seems "natural" to me as this huge heavy piece of fuselage defies the law of gravity, I just cannot comprehend it at all. Any slight bit of turbulence and I am just dying inside and wanna start running around the plane, making people talk to me!!

I was just thinking about it this morning, and almost started laughing, but I'm all by myself, so that might look a bit, well......crazy.

I have gone through 4 major surgeries, had a kidney removed, survived cancer.....and here I am afraid to board a plane......go figure.

Ok, I feel better now, thanks for the therapy session...............

I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. CONGRATS ON GETTING YOUR PS DONE. I SAY IF YOU CAN GO THRU ALL YOU HAVE YOU WILL DO JUST FINE. YOU WILL BE LANDED BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT HIT YA. IT SHOULDN'T BE A LONG FLIGHT AT ALL.

IF IT WAS ME I WOULD TAKE A XANAX TO RELAX. COULDN'T HURT.

SENDING YOU ALL KINDS OF POSITIVE VIBES AND WELL WISHES FOR THE FLIGHT AND I WILL BE LOOKING FOR  FILM AT 11PM TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ABOUT A CRAZY LADY RUNNING AROUND THE PLANE. LOL

PRAYERS AND MORE POSITIVE VIBES FOR A PERFECT SURGERY AND A PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE  AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

TAKE CARE

I love flying.....I've flown to Australia a few times, long flights, like 13-15 hours......non stop......

I flew to Japan once, and the flight home was nothing short of brutal....they stopped serving the turbulance was so bad.......I was a mess!!!!

Look, if you are'nt getting on no plane, then you ain't getting surgery

Good point....hey, Gus, are you and Anna going to come to the dinner that Nadine is planning on the 6th? I'd love to meet you two!

I would looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove to meet ya!

Nay mentioned it to us about it but Ms. Nadine has not told us the details...time, location, etc.  Um Nay?

Can't wait to meet ya!

Hi my little Angelette!  Nay hasn't filled me in on the details of the dinner, either!!!  Where is it going to be?  I'll be there!!!

Janel I am scared to death to fly too, but as Gus said...no flying....no surgery either!

I am telling you I have flown many times up and down this state...and it has been one of the easiest flights I have even been on. The turbulance has been next to nothing everytime I have flown too. Just suck it up...tell the flight attendent you are scared too. I also get there so I can get on right in the front...that seems to help me too. Also I talk to people to keep my mind off of it...and when all else fails...take drugs! LOL

You are going to do fine girl because knowing why are doing this (flying that is) will definitely get you through your fear!!!

Look forward to hooking up with you!  

Funny, I do all of that, too. I talk to anyone near me, tell the fligth attendant I'm nervous so they talk to me, and I take drugs!!!

One time I flew, it was to Phoenix during a nasty storm...it was so bad. The 2 flight attendants were really sweet to me, and at the end of the flight they gave me a pin...it was plastic wings, like what they give to kids...lol!!
