Hi Cavlover, Your words convey just how addled we can feel when serious health issues decend on us. I suggest that you take a moment, or a minute, an hour or a day to let “the house is on fire” urgency diminish.
In the meantime, just so you don’t get bored, how about telling us why you can’t have your cake and eat too. For example, why move away from the doc you like? I think others on this forum will confirm that people travel to Mayo all the time for consultation and treatment without moving permanently to Rochester.
Now prepare to be awash in responses from some of the really savvy people who are reading this right along with you. Don

Hi Don,
You are so right! I absolutely don’t need an answer today. It’s just like me to worry and want an answer now. 😂 So thank you for helping me keep it light and adding some humor to the situation!
I’l still do my research remotely because there are several reasons why we want to retire elsewhere than where we are now. I’m feeling positive that I will find a local pulmonologist and also be able to go to Mayo or Jewish National for a yearly checkup. I didn’t know it was possible to get treated (if you get sick) and live far away from the experts.
