Hi All,
Thanks to everyone for all your great responses to my questions about life in FL. You guys are the best. I really appreciate it. Trying to find a comfy spot in this life is not easy and I thought ya'll should know the good and bad things about the areas. You have given me many things to think about.
I am on a very fixed income on SS and unable to keep my house in PA so my son is looking to try his hand at racing and FL seems to be the place to go but it is a really big move. I think we both just need a break and want to start over somewhere because we both have been through heck in the last almost five years since I had my accident.
My ex-husband was in the military and we moved 12 times in 9 years so I am well versed in moving and we drove cross country four times during that time too. I have either lived or visited many places across the nation. I guess I am looking for a place where my pain would be lower and there probably isn't just one place unless I want to move to different parts of the U.S. every few months...not feasible. Well, again I appreicate all your help and willkeep ya'll in my prayers each night. It is a hard road we travel each day and I guess I get frustrated and fed up with it all. I figure if I am going to be in pain why not have a cheaper place I can afford with beautiful surroundings.
Thanks,
kathy d

In CA my legs were the best pain wise but due to the dry climate it made my eye condition worse though I still have it in FL it is not as bad the eyes. My eyes after every specialist plus 11 eye docs may be rsd. I have the severe pain in my inner ankle/foot/calf. I had to pick the best location in the situation and for me there is no perfect. I have better days and not so great days. In the summer afternoon here I try to stay in as much as possible other then to and from the car. Are you able to come for like a month in the summer time. The winter here is very nice. Let me know if you move to Ft Lauderdale area. I am in Palm Beach County which is a neighbor or if I can help you in any way. Is there any way you could come for a month or so to see in the summer or early fall at the high heat time? If you can do that I would come then rather then the winter where it is much different. Also to find a short term rental in season or a hotel you will pay 2 or 3 times the amount. If I can help you with anything I am an email away. I don't know much about docs here as I go home to MI for my apts other then my psych but may look for someone here as well. Will see.
