No longer desperate but good thoughts always welcome

Normally, I'm a private person when it comes to these kinds of things, but I cannot think of any other way. I seriously need your help.

My mom went into hospice this am and doesn't have too much time left. She may pass away tonight. I don't know. My chances of seeing her again, are quite slim. I'm ok w/ that, I've spoken w/ her several times. And, we had a good time together in June on Kauai.

My situation is this: She's in CA and I'm in CT. I'll be taking her pup home w/ me and it's against regs to fly pups during summer months due to the heat. So, I have to drive out w/ Kola, starting tomorrow. Sounds like fun, right? Normally, yes, only I almost died last week from an allergic reaction to an antibiotic/severe dehydration and a stupid er doc who didn't admit me against my doc's orders. He more or less released me in the same condition I arrived in. Believe me, that will be remedied upon my return. He's being brought up on charges before the board of directors of said hospital, w/ my doc's backing, and then some.

AAA mapped out the southern route for me, Ohio, Virginia, Tenn., Oklahoma City, Alberque, Gallup, Barstow, SD. I need help w/ driving and places to stay along the way. I've got money for gas, not a problem. Kola's got food Oh, yeah, I'm covered for food, too. It's just 'cause I'm still weak from Dr. Cockypants messing me up, that I need help w/ driving.

Far as getting back, I think I've got it worked it. A friend of mine can help part way. And that's 3 weeks off, too. I should be way better by then.

I hope you can help out.

Thanks so much.

P.S. I did have some fairly cool hallucinations, btw


Now going back to sleep...

Seems like a strange route. Why not shoot straight across through Pittsburg, Indy, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, VEGAS BABY, then San Diego?

Jean, have you asked for help physical help driving at your church or a near by college? Can you give yourself time to ask?

prayers

I think the ASPCA in New York, actually will tell you where you can stay with animals. If not the AAA should have told you on request which hotels/motels take animals.

Thanks for the prayers.

I forgot to ask which places are friendly. Kinda dumb, huh? Doing that in a few hours. I do have a few places to stay along the way, kindness of a couple of AW'er's

I'm out of time, this is going way more quickly than I'd like. Who knew I'd get as sick as I'd did, too.

My vehicle is road ready, too. Made sure of it a few weeks back.



Shweta, I'm counting on the tea, dear and a walk or two to go w/ it. I'm looking forward to your company

Going back to sleep,for a bit...

Interesting thought, the train. Kinda like it. Thanks.

I'm also thinking, now, of flying 1 way, then driving back w/ my mom's car. My brain's muddled w/ all kinds of things. sadness, etc. One way or the other, I'm out of here, today.

Definitely looks like I'm driving. Can't get a flight out, just tried....I thought peeps were staying home w/ the economy???


Sorry if I wasn't too clear. Half asleep and the like. Leaving today and back in 3 weeks. Off to AAA in an hour or 2 when they open for pet friendly hotels, etc. Meanwhile, coffee's needed, etc.

Thanks, Appy

Thanks, everyone.

Final decision: Flying out tomorrow am and staying for a few weeks. Then, driving back w/ my mom's pup. Kola's gonna miss a road trip.

Seems to be the way things worked.

Thanks again.

I just hope my mom's peaceful.
