We heard last night that we’re to fly home on Wednesday, staying at an airport hotel tomorrow night so my husband will be more rested than he would be with the very early and rushed start on Wednesday morning that the repatriation company planned. I insisted on the hotel overnight as it would be too stressful otherwise.
A doctor is flying out tomorrow, will sit next to my husband on the flight and stay with us until we arrive at our house.
Off to have breakfast, followed by some packing and begin to clean and close the apartment down gradually - who knows when we’ll be able to return?!

That is really good news .. things are moving at last 😊 I had a super medical representative, Mark, to accompany me all those years ago, it really does make a difference to the journey.
Well done .. nearly there 🙌🙌

I'm so pleased to know that you'll soon be home and I bet G is too. Does this mean your son can return with you?

Fantastic news, very pleased for you. Don't forget in all the excitement your needs for LFTs before you go and PLFs with booked PCR tests. Good luck and safe journey.

Thank you very much for such lovely support, it has really helped all through this.
we were contacted this morning by the insurance company - the repatriation company decreed that we had to have a further PCA test to protect the doctor who will be accompanying my husband home, as the one last Thursday/Friday was past its ‘use by date’! Our lovely nurse came to the rescue again, came round and tested us at midday, then I took them round to the lab immediately, so they should have caught the lunchtime shuttle to the main lab at Nîmes. Hopefully an earlier result tonight/tomorrow and we can pick the certificates from 10h.
The cost was less than last week - the only reason I could think of was that we each already had a dossier for today’s tests, last week took time to set them up, so the cost was more. Anyone know?
But talk about taking us right to the wire! The doctor is flying out to Montpellier and transferring to Marseille by train tomorrow, he’s arranged to check my husband tomorrow evening, our taxi to Marseille tomorrow is booked, our hotel is booked, the 4 seats on the plane are booked - I can’t begin to consider receiving positive results tomorrow!
