Yeah, I know you are saying the right thing. I don't have the luxury of seeing the doctor at the present. They took away my access a ride and I can't get there because of all the nuts on the buses and the trains. I go with Alan when he uses his Access a ride. And if I have a doctor's appointment Alan goes with me and we use his Access a Ride.

Alan gets up at 2 p.m so it's hard to make appointments.

I have to play this by ear.

so far it's doing good.

I'll update.

Thanks much, Mrs. D
