In the meanwhile you have a good flight


Good to know, thank you! I will try to get in with her before I leave (not until June and then maybe July).

I don't have problems with the muscles, and I'm not sure if my respiratory is really worse, or if it's always been at the level it is, I just didn't know it because I only recently started to see a pulmonologist (mainly so I have one in case I am ever in an emergency).


Thank you!
