I'm sorry you are finding such disappointment in your "friends." That happens to all of us at one point. My husband has lung cancer and we ran into the same thing. What we did was research local taxi's on Yelp for doctor visits, etc. Many of the taxi companies had bad reviews stating drunk or high drivers, dirty cabs etc. So we went one level up to limousines. A little more expensive but very dependable. We found a great company that we use all the time. Clean, beautiful cars and courteous, sober drivers. This is for when you go to the emergency room in the aid car but have to get back home or one is in the hospital and visiting may run into the night time hours etc. Basically we use the limousine service when one of us doesn't feel safe driving. It also works well for getting to the car repair place and not having to wait or the airport.
Best wishes,
PML

No taxis in my territory!!! No health vans, yet doctors think you can just go to appointments with no thoughts of how patients will get there! Mailing prescriptions has gotten more expensive… last week a doctor I never saw sent me 2 prescriptions at the expense to me of $26. No insurance does not cover!!! Mkt

That’s not practical for someone who doesn’t have money. I live pay check to pay check. And I’m only receiving 2/3 of my normal check while I’m out on leave. That’s not enough to pay for taxis or even to be paying for other people to take me especially not a limousine service.
But I’m very happy for you and that you are so blessed to be able to do that for yourselves and have each other. I pray y’all have healing soon.
God Bless you both.

I am s single person and have had my share of E.R. Visits. It’s either ambulance, depending on whether I feel I can drive or take Uber. If you take ambulance there and you’re released, you need Uber to get back home. I don’t like this aspect of being single. I’m at a point of looking at care communities so I wouldn’t have to deal with this by myself.
