socialized medicine
When I took sick in London, after a trip to Kenya and Tanzania, I spent 5 days in the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, where they did every possible test and took good care of me. No charge if you get sick in Britain. But you can't get this benefit if you travel sick to the empire. So nice when countries extend their free medical care to guests. I hope Simon got better after the anti-inflammatory and hasn't experienced the same symptoms. xo Sandy

How is Simon now?
Max and I are so happy you two were able to finish the trip and we got to know you better. Praying for Simon's health.

Simon's health
Shara, Simon is doing about the same as when we were on the cruise. The only change is that he is now taking his opioids on a regular schedule rather than waiting for symptoms. He still tires easily but we are still active. We cancelled our trip to Colorado but are going on a week long coastal cruise to Vancouver on October 5 since that will be less demanding. Thanks for asking. How are you two doing? You were a pleasure to travel with. All the best, William

Simon's health
Simon continues to be mostly okay. Still has occasional periods of fatigue when he sleeps a lot, some brief periods feeling sick, but still getting things done. We had the nice one week coastal cruise a few weeks ago and are leaving Monday for Florida and then the cruise through the Caribbean and up the Amazon to Manaus.

Maryann, Every time I work on the photos I get to relive the trip. I'm glad that it does that for you two. Simon's health is not good but he's gotten a little better lately.

Response Feb 4, 2019
My fingers are crossed and prayers said for Simon's health. I remember my days of chemo and cancer. It took up 95% of my energy. Can't wait for your next city post.
