Mrs. KRSW has had a serious of bad rolls of the dice lately, with the most recent being put on dialysis.

The doctors we've seen have been absolutely awful, so we're in the early stages of starting up with Mayo Clinic, which we're currently driving to/from due to some of her other health issues. She completed a high altitude simulation test and desat'd down to 90%, to which the doctors said she was okay to fly, but I'm not willing to do that without seeing it for myself. So, in the next few weeks I plan on taking her up in a Cessna where I can pick whatever altitude I want, when I want, and plan on having her at altitude for at least 2-3 hours and see how her body does before we even consider getting on an airliner. In Florida you're never more than 15 minutes away from the next airport, and we can always descend at will.

I'm looking for any tips/tricks/words of encouragement and wisdom on this. It's been a rough few months so far. ]]> Travel Health and Fitness KRSW https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-health-fitness/2216569-dialysis.html
