mags4short · Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 9:02 am Post subject: Mags is off to Poland!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I have just about got packed, need to eat and then get to bed very early for an early start in the morning.

We have to leave the house at 4am so will not be posting here until after we arrive in Poland.

Looking forward to meeting up with other MSers tomorrow evening, I am hoping that they will be able to ease some of my nerves. If not a rum and coke may do it Smile

I just want to thank everyone who has contributed to this site, without them I would not have known where to start. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. No matter what the outcome is, it has given me hope and something to keep me focused on for the past 6 months or so.

Whoooooooo we are here!!!!

Day one - (following Esta's example)

The flight arrived 30 minutes early Smile

We have been here all afternoon, got picked up by Kris from the airport, taken to hotel. No problems what so ever.

Just had a look around the surrounding area, but am tired from the travelling, going off for a nap then hoping to meet up with Esta, Mark and co in the bar later.

Tests tomorrow, have to be at reception for 8am so had better not get carried away in the Sky bar this eve Smile

Good luck, Mags... bring a book and be prepared for some long waits for the MRV and the procedure itself. Someone said that there were going to be 13 (!) liberated yesterday, but I can't figure out how they'll do that... the 7 liberated in our group made for a long and tiring day, and I'm not sure where they would put the overnight patients. I hope you have a great liberation... it'll make you forget all the hassles of getting there.

Thank you

We had a great night in Sky bar last night meeting up with some really lovely MSers.

After a few hours sleep we went for breakfast before meeting up at 8am in reception. Then it was off to Euromedics for the eye tests. All went well and we are now getting ready to get picked up again to be taken for the MRVs.

It all seems a little hectic but at the same time is so organised that I am not having time to get stressed... which is good Smile

No doubt we will be meeting up again tonight to compare notes before the procedure tomorrow.

I have to say it has all been pretty painless so far.

Until tomorrow then............

Hi Mags, glad it's not stressing you out too much, hope to see you all in the bar later when I've recharged my batteries after my op yesterday.

Looking forward to it Mutley, you can give me a blow by blow account!!

Just back from the MRV, going for dinner now as I haven't eaten since breakfast, but will be in the Sky bar later.

No breakfast tomorrow as there are more tests and procedure.... yikes!

Will update when all is done.
