Minnesota Bound

Every eight weeks, Ito to M-Health (University of Minnesota) to receive an infusion of Entyvio, a treatment for Crohn's Disease. I had hoped that I would be able to get the treatment here in the Tampa-St. Pete area, but the stars didn't align My doctor insists on the importance of staying within the 8-week interval, so I wasn't inclined to tempt fate by waiting until my return to Minnesota three weeks from now.

I booked a $128 Spirit Airlines round-trip leaving tonight, returning tomorrow evening. I'll be in Minnesota for about 16 hours: long enough to get some sleep, spend a couple of hours at the U, get the mail, and go to the bank. Other duties may come up during the course of the day.

The weather in Minnesota has turned wintry, but so far my flight looks like a "go" and I shouldn't have any trouble getting around the city when I'm home. Bob will drop me off and pick me up, so I don't have to worry about ground transportation to and from Tampa International.

Today is cool and cloudy, so I don't feel too regretful leaving Florida., but I suppose 18F will feel like a shock at midnight.

About Me

My photo
The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
