80 year old Mom has essential tremors, anxiety, congestive heart failure, wheelchair bound. My Dad just died in January and she wants to move back north. My question is, what is the easiest way to transport her? Plane, car, train, bus? Anyone else done this? Could really use some expertise.
Thanks :)
Mimix2 I don't have a great answer for you, but the fastest way would certainly be plane. I'd fly down and fly back with her if it was me. Get help from the airlines with getting her to and from gates, get a direct flight (first class if you can afford it) and it should be reasonably easy. You might consider a very mild sedative if your mom would get super anxious. But I'd certainly speak to her doctor about that first. And see if her doc would have any reason to discourage an airplane flight.
I would plan on anxiety meds, to ease a slow, long car ride with frequent stops. preferrably you, mom and one more person to help.
