I really dont think the 200 miles has anything to do with him not wanting to go. Its either the care hours or he just doesnt feel like bringing all the stuff to care for you to another place.People get stubborn and set in their ways. It would be nice if he could realize that youneed to get away and do it just for that reason. I feel for your situation as I have faced similar ones ron c7

It is VERY HARD to find a place that has a hospital bed and I emailed them about renting a trapeze from a local surgical supply place. I can easily do half the driving. Last fall we drove half way to Saratoga, which is Woodstock, NY, and my sister drove down to meet us. My point I'm trying to make is if we drove 200 miles that day, up and back, and walked all around Woodstock why couldn't we drive 200 miles to Saratoga, spend 2 or 3 nights? Walking distance from the B&B is a medium size old town of Saratoga which we have been to before many years ago. It is very wheelchair friendly and we can walk to town from the B&B. My sister and Pete are very close, actually she is his favorite in my family. I believe his big hang up is being reinstated as my full-time HHA. But dose this mean we can never do an overnight stay anymore at all? The last couple of years have been VERY tough on us, either I've been sick or stuck in bed or he had trouble with a gallbladder that he had removed. In 2006 his Mother passed away and for years before that he was taking care of the both of us. I tried to express to him that we are both doing very well this spring/summer we should go while the going is good. Bobbie Remember Mom this Mother's Day! Find a florist near you now.
