Entry 17 of 18 | show all | print this entry

Oh my god.  Really.  We took off from Auckland in the evening, with my throat still hurting.  I'd bought some sweets to suck, and had some pills to ease my chest, but that barely made a difference once we were in flight. 

Whilst I know you don't all want to hear about my flying troubles, it at least allows me to add the final lines to my map of where I am travelling!!!

Anyway, the short of it is that I ended up needing oxygen on this flight to even breathe.  About 3 hours in to my 11hr45min flight I came over very light-headed.  I was having great difficulty breathing and called a steward.  They brought me my very own oxygen tank and left me with that until I felt better.  Oxygen is great stuff, but it made me feel very sick before I felt better.  I slept well after that, and was fine until we started the descent.  Lost all my hearing on this occasion and developed a rather unpleasant sniffle. 

When I landed in Los Angeles I looked a right state, particularly with my sunglasses on.  I was really not looking forward to reboarding, and in fact had been advised to stay in LA and see a doctor.  But really I just wanted to go home by now...
