Just when it sounded like things were going well...I'm now left in India with a carry on bag of clothes and that's it because Ryan took my stuff home assuming I'd be right behind him
Don't panic, I'm trying to figure this out. Basically, the Canadian/American doctors said they do not medically endorse me flying with a chest tube and it has to come out. Shame they couldn't have said that to the Indian doctor before Ryan left this morning...

Hello, Julie -
I’m writing to let you know our medical team spoke with Dr. Roy not too long ago. This is the plan they discussed to ensure your safety while traveling home:
A chest x-ray will be done – if all looks well, the remaining chest tube will be removed. You will be discharged from the hospital 24 hours later and another chest x-ray will take place in 10 days to ensure your lungs are clear. At that time, we will move forward with medically appropriate travel arrangements for your return to Canada.
Please let us know if our assistance is needed with locating a hotel where you can rest and continue recovery until your follow-up chest x-ray.
We will continue to stay in touch with you to ensure we address all of your questions and concerns.
Kind Regards,
Gina DeLisle
Medical Assist Coordinator
Who doesn't love being kicked in the teeth? Ryan left this morning because we thought I'd be leaving tomorrow...so he took everything except my iPad, cellphone and one change of clothes for me to fly in. 60 min ago I get told I can't fly with the second tube in, it's coming out tomorrow and then I'm being discharged 24hrs later and I'm alone in India for the next ten days to make sure everything is okay. Fuck this adventure. My next one involves a beach, sunshine and booze
