Hi Trisha, Thank you for responding. Your situation sounds so much like ours. I'm sorry you are feeling as I do, the disappearing thing. It's hard. I'm fortunate in that we have four daughters who are loving and supportive. And two baby grandsons and a granddaughter on the way. In so many ways life is good, but then there's always the elephant in the room. I'm terribly envious of my sisters and friends who don't have our problems, and very sad that I don't have that kind of independence. Although I'm probably missing a window right now when we likely could do some modest traveling. My husband is certainly game to do this! I guess I'm just fearful of something new happening when we are someplace other than home. I'm definitely letting fear win out here. ...You and others have mentioned how helpful Mayo Clinic has been. Do you know if they do telehealth? I don't believe there's a Mayo Clinic near me. Best of luck to you and thank you again, Jean
