Sorry about your car. It is SO limiting to have these issues, and especially when your car has to go off to car heaven...... When I was on the morphine, I just did not drive, feared being in a collision with someone under the influence you know..... So I felt imprisoned at home unless one of the family or a friend took me about.
May you be filled with rays of hope [maybe even from RAE] and may our prayers lift you as you prepare for and ultimately get the procedure. I have hope for you,
Praying,
