[QUOTE="buddy, post: 505164, member: 12886"] I was thinking of how it was when he was in the hospital... it is in that direction, about the same distance. I went through a tank of gas (45 dollars now) every few days. I only went to the hospital once a day but then tried to make my errands on the way to or from to save gas. I had other things to do at that time... So if it is 30 miles that is 60 round trip... about three gallons of gas, so gas alone about 7 dollars any day I would need to go (as long as gas stays around 2.30ish and never mind oil or wear and tear, just talking gas). If I have to go get him or he refuses medications and I have to go give them... then extra trip... Of course he is worth this. I simply would have to lower our food budget or further cut out any times he can have money for Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) time. I would make it happen. I can get rid of internet all together if I have to....but it is a huge reward for him and right now it is my only connection to the world, I have pretty cheap internet relatively speaking and getting rid of it would give me money for around 8 school trips. I know it sounds dumb to nit pick when his whole life and happiness is at stake but I have to think realistically how I would handle a day like Thurs when I barely could get home from a drive eight miles away. We have the cheapest TV too and no gaming stuff or anything like that. No home phone. Almost no where else to cut. Less hot water? Well, one step at a time... I KNOW I can make whatever I need to do for him work. I can sell our stuff if I have to . I have totally sold everything and moved for him once and I can do it again. It was hell for a year for him but if it is right in the long run I will do it. [/QUOTE]
