Back in the USA

     After a very restful Shabbat , and just a few days after my return form  my two week trip to Israel to visit my children ,friends and family I find it vert difficult to put in words what I am feeling right now.Especially with my health and not knowing when  I will be able to make that trip again.

    I cannot thank my children enough for without them it never would have happened.It's amazing how quickly two weeks go by.The trip was fantastic even had the opportunity to go camping.

Even did some cooking for my kids per their request.Got some great photos and memories to share

 But here it is 2 1/2 years later and things have changed.Though in general felling great my health definitely impacted on my trip to an extent.my stamina ,ability to shlep things around and even my strength is not what it was prior to my diagnosis and treatment.the reality of my severe sensitivity to the sun was evident especially after being do careful with using sunscreen ,reapplying it multiple times during the  day & wearing a hat all the time ,I still got a really bad blistering sunburn on my arms,that taught me a very valuable lesson.But no complaints overall it was an experience I would repeat tomorrow .looking forward (I think) to getting back to a normal routine.
