<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Greetings, I'm sure this has happened to others, but I've not seen it addressed here. You're called out of town on a day's notice, perhaps you're completely distracted by this emergency and it's all you can do to keep yourself together. How I wish I had had an emergency kit list to refer to and better prepare myself for what was to come. I had the presence of mind to grab some tuna, crackers, rock-hard nasty rice flour rolls and almonds. I spent most of last week drowning in tears, while very cold and hungry because I was so poorly prepared. Have you ever tried to find gf ibuprophen in another country? Spare yourselves. Take 5 minutes and make out a list of "travel food/medicine necessities." Keep it in your personal documents file so that you won't have to go searching for it. Don't rely on "someone else" to feed you (unless they're gf) or think you can take care of it on arrival. There probably won't be time. Do you want to be making critical decisions when your blood sugar is on the other side of the planet? Take care of yourself, be good to yourself, especially when those around you NEED YOU. Realistically yours, Phee [log in to unmask] Sacramento
