Flying
Has anyone had to fly at 5-6 weeks out from surgery? Got the ok from the surgeons office as long as I get up frequently during the flight. I am flying to Texas for a funeral. I am torn about going as it is alot of money for last minute flights. My da Megan moved there the day after Christmas with her fiancee who lives there. So she has been gone less than 2 weeks. His dad died suddenly from a heart attack yesterday. My heart just breaks for him as he and his dad lived together and were close. He is a nice guy and embraced us as family during his 2 visits here at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My emotions and heart strings tell me to go. My husband is fine with me going if that is what I want to do. I would stay for several days as my sister is also near by and I will be staying with her and her family. She knew that if she moved we wouldn't be jumping on planes frequently to visit, but since I have not started back to work feel I should go as I may not see her again until her wedding in the summer. Am I crazy to go????

Thanks you guys!!! I have struggled with this all day. Hearing the disapproval in my Mom's voice...."Should you be going so soon??? What about the money???? Probably isn't the wisest decision." All I know is what I feel in my heart. So I bought my ticket, rented my car, am staying with my sister and will see my daughter tomorrow afternoon. I leave from Flint at 6:30 tomorrow morning and arrive in Austin before lunch. Visitation is tomorrow evening with the funeral Friday afternoon. It will give me a chance to see where she is and that she is ok. I will make sure I drink, drink, drink and walk, walk, walk. Let you know how things go when I get back on Monday night.
