Thank you. We have cruised together once before and are still friends so we thought we would have another go at it. I am so sorry that you suffered strokes. That is one of the things that I worry about. When you get to be our age, there are so many things out of our control and you cannot predict anything. I check in via email with two people. If they don't hear from me within a reasonable time, they will either call me or law enforcement to do a wellness check. When you live alone you need something like this. It was brought home to me when a woman who lived in the next block of my street died and no one knew until almost a week later. It gave me a jolt and that's when I started checking in with these two trusted friends. I don't know how I would cope if I couldn't drive. I do not drive for pleasure but to the market, library, doctor appointments, etc. Good luck to you as you continue your recovery.
