[TMIC] trip to Fla.

[ACAROE]

Leaving for Fla.from NY Oct. 14 in the new minivan - my husband will do most of the driving.  I dont know how I will sit so long but we will see.  My biggest problem is my rear end.  Because I lost alot of muscle tone in my glutes I am sitting on bone - no matter what I sit on.  Any suggestions from anyone?  Of course the bathroom issues are problematic but I know McDonalds has good handicapp bathroom facilities.  I will have to look for the golden arches and try not to eat too many French fries.     Glad to hear (well not so glad but you know what I mean) that there are others with dx of infarction.  I thought I was the only one whose dr. insists on that diagnosis.  He says it is not tm but is not 100% sure of course.     I too thought I was being electrocuted down my legs and could not move from my tush down.   Now, one year later I still cant stand without holding on but I can walk with the walker but am leaning on both hands. I do have enough use of my right leg to drive and it feels great to be behind the wheel again but of course I dont go too far alone.     Will let you know how the long trip went.         Take care all,  Rosalie
