Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi: I am one of many older folks in MI that can not consider assisted living because it is near impossible to sell a house here even at a big loss. So the old folks apartments are empty in assisted living complexes. My house is much keep-up work and if you hire outsiders they require much time for direction and follow-up.

In a way I do not want to leave but the medical care is horrible here...... In Seattle homes are way above what I can pay for. My kids live in Portland and houses are even more there. ps.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I asked them about the when I called. I'll have to print out a map from the hotel to the hospital. That way if I don't get the shuttle Bob can drive me. Did I tell you I was a patient there once? I had a stent put in my heart. When I got my appointment they called to see if I was the same person. My address was a bit different. The kidney problems have been coming on for quite awhile.
