4 days left...almost there

Well, 4 days left til liftoff to Aus. Wow, is this really happening?! Yes, it is, and I am happy to report that I feel prepared. I did a few laps and drills this morning, after teaching groups at Rex Wellness. Just feeling good and staying healthy. That's the goal. Stay healthy.

For transplant recipients, as well as anyone on immunosuppressants, extra caution is required to reduce risk of infection and rejection. That alertness, for some fear & paranoia, usually peaks at such a time as this, prior to a major life event. To further prevent illness now and in Australia, I've purchased some face masks, and have started a flu prevention medication, Tamiflu.

There are still many errands to run, laundry to be done, packing, praying, etc... By Wednesday am, I'll be ready. For those of you who are praying people, please consider praying for the health & safety of all Team USA athletes now, during and after the Games. Two more team members have had to withdraw due to accident and/or illness.
