Proud of Myself

[kimby2007]

Hi All:

Just wanted to follow up with some good news. Last week I posted about being very afraid to fly due to my Dry Eye from Sjogrens. I got some wonderful tips from everybody and am sooooo glad to report that I was absolutely fine for my flights. My first flight to Dallas was about 5 hours (damn head winds!!!!) and I only had to use 1 drop. My return trip was 3 1/2 hrs and I was fine tooo. Best of all I actually really enjoyed my trip. One of these days I actually learn to post a picture so you all know what I look like On other really exciting news I actually am working. It is nothing compared to my old extreme computer intensive job but heck its work and money and I hope I don't sound to full of myself but I am proud for getting back out there and trying. Also my trip up to BFS is next Friday and I have my fingers crossed. Bill Rosenthal sounds like such an angel so I am sure I will have a good experience regardless of what happens. I guess we have to remind ourselves everyday that we control our lives, the dry eye shouldn't control us. It is easier some days than others but I think I am on the way back Thanks all again for your tips and support!!!!
