Hurdle #1

Today I saw 3 of my 6 doctors. I tend to keep all my appointments around the same time so that I don't have to do bloodwork on multiple occasions. 

The 3 I saw today went well. The consensus is that I am hard on myself. The fact that things didn't get worse is a step in the right direction. There were a few recommendations for me to try but overall, the visit was not as scary as I had expected.

I asked all 3 doctors if they are ok with me traveling abroad this month. All three gave me  the all clear. I still will need to stay careful and monitor my numbers but there is no problem with the idea. 

So that is the first hurdle that is out of the way. 

Next is the actual passport renewal process. 
That is happening tomorrow morning at 8am. I have everything that I need for that appointment but the site states clearly that they may or may not be able to renew the passport on time for the flight. 

So tomorrow or a couple of business days will determine how I do with that hurdle #2.
Then later this week, I will see 3 more doctors but I don't anticipate that they would have an issue with my travels. Before this weekend, I should know for sure one way or the other.
