-my sister has bought a house a couple of miles away. She will only be here about half the time for the next year or two (Michigan the rest of the time).
Thanks to those who have offered advice, especially to "marinabelle" and her story of her 93-year old father. My Mom was happy when she read about how well he was getting along.
Take care, Larry
The fact that Ms Betty is a US citizen will certainly make the medical coverage easier. I hope you get some good doctor recommendation.
