Hi @yvie, I didn’t get a chance to sit down for a chat this morning. But you really hit home with having to give up car keys. That is the ultimate relinquishment of freedom, isn’t it? I’m 69 so hopefully a few years to go before it happens permanently. But during my medical odyssey a few years ago, I went for the better part of a year without being able to drive. I felt like a prisoner not being able to grab the keys and head out the door on a whim to meet with a friend, grab something from the store, or just go out for a drive to clear my head. Every trip had to be strategically planned to coincide with my husband’s errand list. Though I knew he’d take me to shop if I wanted. But it’s not always easy to browse when someone is tapping toe to ‘get the job done’. 😅
Your attitude for life and coping is just wonderful. It’s so important to cherish every day as a gift. I’ve learned that too. We may never know what each day holds as there are always challenges. It’s how we chose to handle those hurdles that keeps us going and puts things into perspective.
I’m happy you found Connect and that I could give you that virtual hug. We all need those, don’t we? 😊

Thank you for the hug RF. I feel your pain and my prayers are with you.💕
