Bram,

so glad to hear your mom is doing better, how fortunate you are to still

have a mom. I can hear in your posts that you know how lucky you are. Enjoy

every single moment you get to keep her in your life.

But I certainly understand the concern about getting somewhere in case of

emergency. What do we do when we feel so poorly that traveling far for an

emergency could create all new emergencies for us? Or the emotional stress of

the

financial stress of the cost of traveling - which can be substantial,

especially when unable to plan ahead. My family is all over the country and

being in

Florida means everywhere is at least 1000 miles away. Al's brother is in the

final stages of bone cancer and I'll be dealing with that same thing any day

now I'm afraid. He's about 300 miles away but with our car that won't make

it that far, I worry about the CALL. And then what do we do about feeling so

selfish/self-centered that we worry about money, emotions and ourselves when

its loved ones who need us? Its amazing to me how many aspects of our lives

this disease can affect. And it saddens me as well! Sigh.......
