Ouch. This country is so vehicle-dependent. Life without driving isn't an easy thing, nor is MS for that matter. I hope they find a cure for some of these things soon!
I just got a Jeep about three months ago. After two weeks, the engine needed to be replaced, but it seems to be doing well now. It'll be great to have something with 4WD in this hilly Minnesota town when the snow starts flying. The RWD Ford Ranger wasn't very safe.
Actually, I'm a little worried I might not be driving much longer because of my eyesight. The Mayo Clinic is down to doing a full DNA sequencing to try and figure out what's going on, there.
I hate being dependent. I live out of town and there is no public transportation available. We used to be on the go continuously and did some marvelous road trips all around the country and then my guy died a year and a half ago from cancer. Since then I've pretty much spent the time here in my house. My daughter is available if I have to go out for an appointment, but she is busy and I always hate to impose for anything frivolous, so I sit here and spend time on Steem!
I certainly hope Mayo can find some answers for you. That must be very frightening

Oof. Being out of town does make things a lot more difficult. Even in town, though, the public transportation system is pretty weak.
For about three years, I lived in southern Spain and, even in the small villages, the public transportation is very usable. I'm hoiping to find a way back there permanently. My eyesight has more or less stabilized, but I'm worried it will start to degrade again.
Sorry about your guy. Cancer's a beast of an illness. A friend of mine, only 31 years old, found out she has an aggressive breast cancer about a month ago. Everyone here's doing all we can to help her.

I've spent time in Portugal, a lot of time in France, but only a few days in Northern Spain. I hope your eyesight does not continue to get any worse and that you do get back there. Even when I was still walking and using a cane, Europe became simply too difficult for me. All the cobblestones and steps and ancient buildings just are not handicap accessible. And I really hated to give that up because I love being in Europe so much.
