I have no support systems in TV. Has anyone else been through a similar dilemma ?
Thanks for your input,

Billy, sounds like you are overwhelmed with these decisions and the caregiving you are doing for your husband. I agree with the previous posters, this is the place where you will get the most help and advice. I agree that the flight and airports will really take care of your husband on a priority basis and the taxi that CFrance suggests is a wonderful idea.
Once you are here, you will have a greater opportunity to find caregivers and doctors who will help him, plus support groups, and you, yourself, will have a large support system with your friends on TOTV.
Just remember to take one step at a time, inch by inch, life's a cinch. I have been in similar situations a few times and I know the feeling of how hard it is to make these decisions. Good luck and God bless.
