Cool! My Dad Is Moving From Up In The Mountains To Down Below Them
near his doctors, society, and people. He lived in a beautiful little mountain town, but I'm glad that he is moving down.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

He's 73 btw and has a few health problems that require him seeing doctors regularly.

1. That does make you feel a bit easier, doesn't it?
Will he be geographically closer to you?

3. Not really
about an hour is all

but he is also right there where he can shop, have services he needs, doctors, and a decent hospital if he needs it.

it is a bit easier

5. Great news, Southpaw!

I know just how you feel.

I felt better knowing my dad was close
to his doctor, too.

:hi: :hug:

13. That sounds great.
My father lives in an island community and trips to the doc are all day events because of the ferry schedule. Fortunately there is a public health nurse on the island most of the time and that allows him and the other old farts the chance to stay put until they're seriously ill.
