So the one thing I feel pretty strongly about is having
to ask for special treatment...now don’t get me wrong, I’m a princess and want to be treated special but based on my own right. Today I had to ask for special treatment because of my current shortness of breath. It’s not that I’m shy about asking it’s just that I’d rather not. So today after flying for hours and schlepping through the airport (I managed fine and my daughter was there to help) I arrived at a hotel and they wanted to put me in a room at the top of a hill (but more like a mountain to me). Everyone that knows me also knows I usually never stay in the first room given to me at any hotel (hence princess) but this room would be far from the restaurant (and bar) and I felt that it would literally be a hardship for me. So before trecking to the other side of the world to even see this room, I went back to the front desk to advocate for myself and ask for another room. Apparently it need supervisory approval because the guy at the front desk had to go behind closed doors to make it happen. I guess however I did not communicate clearly about my breathing issue since the new room was at the top of a staircase. The bellman who had to carry our bags obviously felt badly and reported it to management. To their credit, management did call me to address the concern but I had already unpacked ....I think I can deal....but I wish it was different (my learning to deal) and moms having chemo tomorrow and I’m having it in 8 days.
