When I was younger i lived in Japan, we walked or took a taxi but they were cheap but mostly walked. Now. I have not driven fr many years as I am legally blind, sewing is challanging enough. Thankfully, hubby can still drive. When he was severely ill in the hospital and was in a veterans home my son lived 30 minutes away. Unfortunately as a few of you know we lost him in a fall accident a year next month . My daughter lives over 3 hours away so if hubby cant i dont go anywhere, depend on a few friends... there are no buses here, taxis few and very expensive.. sometimes scary to get older when you have health issues.....
