The timing couldn't have been much worse...

Like I've said in previous posts, I'm so glad I went through with having the SCS implanted. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. That having been said, the timing couldn't have been much worse.

My grandfather is dying of cancer. We thought he'd have more time, but it's not looking good now. He's on oxygen and pain killers constantly now, and hospice workers come in frequently to help him out. Of course it's important that I go visit him before he passes. The only problem is he lives about 5 hours (by car) from my husband and I. I simply can't ride in a car for that long of a time period.

We were going to visit him this weekend, but I don't think I'll make it. My husband says we can go up next weekend, but what if I can't ride in a car then, either? I don't think I'm going to be able to see him before he passes. It's heart-wrenching. My mom tells me not to worry about it, and that grandpa would understand, but that doesn't make me feel any better. This totally sucks.
