They close up and go home each evening so you would be on your own until breakfast the next morning. Of course, there are plenty of other SKPs around if you should truly need something during those off hours. Just be sure to meet your neighbors and exchange phone numbers before you need them if you choose Care as your option.<br /><br />Is your brother close enough to the Arizona Mayo Clinic for that to be an option for you? That might make you more confident in having this done.<br /><br />Yes, keep posting bear pictures.

One of my totem animals is Bear, so I never tire of seeing them. Darn it if there wasn't a visit by a mama and three cubs here while I was in hospital, so I missed seeing them and getting photos!

First time mothers usually have only one or two. Bears can also have litters of 4 or 5. The record is 6 in PA.

What a gift to be able to see these beauties all the time. Your post yesterday has made me do a lot of thinking too, which both John and I have done in the past. One of the most often asked questions is where are we going to settle down when we can't travel any longer and we honestly do not have an answer as of yet. Maybe it is because we don't have to make that decision just yet, but it is something we know we must deal with. Even traveling with a partner doesn't make it any easier. And what if one of us gets sick or injured and can't get in and out of the rig? Ugh. We too keep CARE as an option in our thoughts. I sure don't want my son to have to take care of me although he has said he would. I would be miserable thinking about how my old age ruined his life. So, I guess there is no easy answer. Hopefully, you will find several options to choose from. There are lots of people who would help you and the hard part is letting them. Perhaps the hardest part about independence is having to give it up. Hugs.

On the way down, we came across 2 bears on different parts of the road and a coyote. It was too dark and there is nowhere to pull over on the winding mountain road - so no pictures, but it was still exciting to see them. Luckily they moved fast enough to get across the road when they see/hear a car.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-64066730650642442762012-08-29T22:33:54.983-05:002012-08-29T22:33:54.983-05:00I have also heard that hip replacements are not to...I have also heard that hip replacements are not to bad.
