i suround myself with big comfy/soft pillows, a small throw blanket, pain meds, recline the seat some...

although i think this is kinda weird, but it hurts a lot less for me when i'm actually driving then if i'm just sitting back.

I do appreciate your sharing tips for traveling with RSD.

I don't want to burden my sister and her family with my RSD issues, so I will follow the tips that yall have shared with me.

My sister, Wanda, is 52. At 42, she had a little girl (change of life baby). Reva just turned 11 years old, and she loves art. I am an artist, and my sister ask me to teach Reva some art techniques(quilling;paper sculpture). I have a box of supplies that have several beginner's kits and quilling materials/tools, that I made just for Reva.

This will keep Reva busy and will also make it easier for my sister to get some rest. My sister also has an 18 yr old son, and a 26 yr old son. My sister and her hubby will celebrate 30 years of marriage this June. Wanda will turn 53 in May, and we plan to have a birthday party while my hubby and I are visiting.

We are keeping a positive attitude concerning the pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Hope is what we all cling to,right? I do, anyway.
