Can I travel alone for surgery in the UK?

Katie, no problem, I didn't take any offense by what you shared of your experience. I sincerely feel glad for you that you had such support. (So much of communication is lost when we try to do it in print alone). I have no resentment at all that I am traveling alone, or bitter feelings about other people having companionship. Several friends did offer to go with me, and I made plans with one of them to travel together, but we both questioned the decision when we looked at the cost. She did in fact offer to travel coach on the same plane, but I didn't feel good about that. I don't know at this point if we even could get tickets on the same flights. I suppose it might be a good idea to look into it, so that we can revisit the decision and make sure I am making the best one.

Yes, perhaps leave that door open, just in case it will work. I swear, the travel arrangements were some of the most stressful parts of having this surgery I always worry about how someone takes what I write. I so agree about the printed word vs what you say in person.
