My dad keeps telling me to go to University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, but right now even a 30 minute drive is excruciating.
Not sure how you get to your appts. but I've had to resort to an unusual type of transportation many times in the past. We rent a Budget cargo van, put a twin mattress in the back, and I lay on it to and from the dr. appt. Can be a hassle but has been a lifesaver on many an occasion. Also, when doctors hear that's how I've had to travel to get to see them, it really makes them more attentive to my complaints as it shows I've had to go through a lot to get there and can't just ride in a vehicle like any other "sick" person. Just a thought.
