The day before the flight

It's the day before we leave and I'm starting to feel a little anxious. I'm not sure what about exactly, but it could be a few things. It could be the fact that I'll be going from Sydney's winter to hot, humid Singapore, and I'm not entirely sure what to take, having not started packing yet, it could be the fact that I'm not looking forward to the long flight, when I won't be able to get out of my plane seat for the entire time, or it could be because the "fun" part of overseas travel starts today - Clexane injections, a blood thinner to stop me from getting blood clots in my legs from being inactive for a long length of time. These injections don't hurt, as they go into a layer of fat in my belly, but I hate them all the same. Fun stuff...

I never used to have to have them until I got a blood clot in my leg after a long stay in hospital. I was put on Clexane injections every day for 2 weeks until the clot disappeared, and from then on it was decided that it would be a good idea if I had it for plane trips longer than 5 hours. I have one the day before the flight, one just before the flight, and one the day after the flight, and then the same on the way back, meaning that I will have 6 "lovely" injections in the space of a week, I can't wait!...
