I was going to tell you to grow old so you won’t be traveling far from home, or to any remote areas, but according to you, you’re already old. I’ll be 79 in August. I used to do a lot of traveling by car many years ago to do Civil War research in other States, and visited many of the battlefields. Some like Gettysburg and Antietam, I visited many times. The farthest I go now besides doctor appointments and grocery shopping, is visiting my brother’s family two hours west of me, and visiting my oldest son who lives 2 hours east of me...both done on the NYS Thruway. My biggest issue these days is trying to make it all the way to either of them without having to stop at the rest stop on the Thruway.

I also keep a 7-day supply of my prescription (Rx), meds in my GHB. Older folks need to at least try to stave off a heart attack trying to get home.
