@america That was great advice from Irene and Jennifer. I am thriving where I live right now, but it could also be due to the great care I got at Mayo. I get the being near family thing. I miss my daughter so much that it consumes me (she lives in Virginia). As part of our down-sizing plan, I am including extended stays up in Virginia to spend more time with my daughter. I will leave there in the winters and go south again to our much smaller home. I cannot bear the damp cold winters up there. That dampness goes right to my lungs and I get sick. We have to follow our hearts on what is best for us.
