Keeping a list in our wallets is mandatory for hubby's issues. Hey - a list is a VERY small thing to carry.
At least this summer we can travel for the first time in almost 4 years. Prior to that, we had to stay within 1 hour of hubby's hospital.
Yeah, right, I said "We can travel" - after two artificial hearts and a heart transplant we are so broke now we can't afford to travel. Anyone else find that ironic like we do?

I know exactly what you're talking about. I went through the same thing while I was on dialysis, waiting for a kidney to come along. Had to stay within an hour of the hospital, and could never be away from cell phone (just in case). I finally ended up being given a kidney from someone from our church, after all my friends and family were ruled out for various reasons. Now the meds I have to take eat up most of my check, but it sure beats the heck out of dialysis, and I have become very close to my donor and her family. I can now be as far as I want from the hospital, but who can afford to travel? I still have to be able to find a lab once a month too, to check all my various levels.
