Chicago or Bust - Day Three CCSVI Treatment

Today was day three and our last day in Chicago. We shuttled down to the appointment and met with the doctor. He did an ultra-sound to make sure everything was flowing correctly. Everything looked good. He gave me a prescription for a blood thinner and physical therapy and sent me on my way. CCSVI - check!

Now, for some sight seeing.

We took a taxi down to the Pier and went for an Architectural and Historical Cruise of downtown Chicago. It was amazing. I was a little tired and the heat got to me a little but I'm glad we had a chance to be tourist.

One last thought about traveling with MS. The airlines have been very accommodating over the years when flying. I appreciate the effort they give for people in need of wheel chairs and special needs. One might think I like this part because I get to skip all of the long lines and hassles. But I want to be very clear. While I am very appreciative to have this service, I would trade it in a heartbeat for standing in extremely long lines. The next time you find yourself frustrated by the long lines and hassles of airports, stop, and thank God for the ability to stand in that line. What a gift!

I am blessed to have so many caring people who sent prayers and lots of love my way during our trip to Chicago. From the bottom of my heart, I am humbled and lifted up.
