am I crazy

I am going to drive 5 hrs this Friday tx night, to Moyock NC to meet Carol a woman I met on myspace and after talking to daily have decided we are love with the person we've been communicating with. She knows I am on tx, and my situation with sx and such. She has worked in the medical field a lot of her life is presently the main tech for an orthopedic surgeon. She has invited me up to stay in a 8 bedroom resort house at Sand Bridge Beach in Virginia. Her nephew is getting married that weekend and I am invited to that, to meet her family, 3 daughters and enjoy the beach with her and get to know each other.

We both have really worked this over in our minds and so forth. She doesn't want it to be awkward and wants us to really fall in love, not just love each other, but the whole nine yards.  I have always felt we were soulmates.

We will be together not in the same room from Friday until Monday. My concerns are besides the obvious is my sx during tx, also my essential tremors rear their ugly head at a moments notice moreso  through tx.
I just want to make her feel good and it was worth it and go from there.
The most I have driven since being on tx is about 45 minutes. I have never driven to Moyock NC, which is near Elizabeth City.  I hope there are a lot of pitstops on the way.

I really don't want to cause her any unhappiness, or pain. I don't want to kill myself doing this also. I guess if truelove is afoot we'll get through this,  I guess I was thinking when we planned this that I would be well into tx and not experiencing these sx.
Anyway, am I crazy,     It is a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.

Peace and health

This the first time I have attempted anything like this really in my life and going through tx.

I have fears and try to give them to faith, I guess the main one is what if we don't click, then I drive home. What if I am sick from tx, she said that I may have to sleep on a couch so i am not sure that I'll have my own room. I am thinking about the using the bathroom 8 times a night, excluding diarrhea.

I met a marvelous beautiful woman, her family and friends were great. The wedding was memorable and touching. Great accomadations, movie theater, pool , cold, two kithchens, 9 bedrooms, 8.5 baths. Carol and I really connected and she and her family were so understanding about my health issues.
Down side, I got there late at night in a rain storm, I had to do a tx while I was there, I could only sleep 4 or 5 hours at a time, and needed to about every 4 or 5 hours. They had a dj at the house and I remember going to sleep listening to Rick James Super Freak and Commodores Brick House.  It was too windy for the beach, too cold. I was really sick saturday night, and slept or rested a lot.
My pharmacy or my doctor screwed up and would not refill my phenegran, and that pissed me off and I did need it.
Carol and I stayed up until about 2 Sunday night and her family was up about 6, had to leave at 10 monday, Everybody enjoyed getting to know everybody. Carol and I didn't want each other to leave.
I was sick and sleepy driving home, took a wrong turn and made a 4 hour trip over 6 hours.
Would I do it again, yes. Might plan a little better, medicine and trip wise. I could have used some ambien probably.
Carol and I will see each other again.
I am going to sleep late tomorrow, I got Luke back played with him, and I think we both will sleep well.
No word on my bloodwork , except for my low hemaglobin.
I want to read what everyone said while I was gone, too tired  right now, but I will and comment.
Carol really appreaciated the sacrifice I made, and  realized what I was going through. You can have a good time sick, but it is not my choice by any means.

Peace and Health

Amen!
