You’re only about 34 right? That seems far too young to be worrying about the viability of your eggs. But you’re a smart cookie I presume you’re not jumping to conclusions and you’ve gotten some tests done. My ex was tested when she was about 43 years old, and only then were her eggs starting to be considered low probability. It is scary to get tested though, I don’t blame you if you would rather not know.
I tried to arrange a tour of that part of the world and I was very discouraged at how expensive and difficult it was going to be. My hats off to you for figuring it out, I hope you get to go soon and post some pictures when you do.
Thanks for the link. I’ve looked into trip packages all around the world and was really surprised that this came back as one of the most expensive of them all. I wonder why that is, though.
no idea!! for the sorts of tours i like to do £2k is generally par for the course. i tend to like niche destinations and getting some hiking as well as culture. i have seen more expensive.... but i've lusted after 80 day tours of the entire silk route so not surprising really!
1 litre of K down, only got 500ml left sadly.

Glad you’re not!
My grandmother had a colostomy when I was 9 and I remember she nearly died during the procedure. She couldn’t walk after it, she was around 70. She had vascular dementia. She developed septicaemia about 5 times and survived them all she had MRSA. I remember nursing her through all those times, crying thinking this was the end and she always pulled through. Her heart was so strong. She took 4 weeks to die at the end. 3 weeks she survived on nothing but saline and I just told them to withdraw it as I am sure she would have lasted longer. We upped the pain killers. She still lasted another week. I remember early at uni focusing all my work on heart issues because I wanted to learn how it was ever possible she lasted that long.
Oh yeah, I think family involvement is so important in elderly patient mortality. The same care is just not given to those without people who care about them. I used to always want to be a geriatric Dr when I was young, I could have easily, by the time I was 18 I was so well versed I was explaining to the student Drs what was going on when their “mentor” was off wandering and not interested when my grandmother was presenting with atypical symptoms for septicaemia yet again.
I’m also so sorry about your Granny. It’s not nice watching someone you love suffer.
