High
This is continuing from “Winging it”.
After arriving in Scotland, I was picked up by the family who lugged my baggage and the breathing unit home. Apart from mentioning the weight of the unit, I did not say anything about a converter needed to handle the current between the two electricity systems. This converter weighed in about 6 pounds; so you can see that I was carrying quite a lot; not including my personal luggage.
In looking back, I find it hard to believe that I managed it. Now, imagine this. When I returned, unfortunately not with Qantas, I also carried extra weight, cabin luggage, in the form of a 6 pack of .75 litre bottles of Scotch.
Toward the end of my Scottish vacation, I found I was low in the meds for my breathing unit and without a prescription. After a minor panic, I remembered what my doctor had told me. Vodka was a good substitute for the medicine. Wow !! Alcohol fumes directly to the lungs.
Perhaps it was not the sitting in the upsatairs back bedroom looking up at the castle that mellowed me but the inhaling of vodka as I was doing that. Takes about 2O minutes each timed I used it.
This may give a new meaning to the High-lands of Scotland. LOL
