Re: “There was a time when I could drive easily 12 hours and did. As age progressed that diminished a little.”Driving long hours is extremely stressful. There's no doubt about it.

The early symptoms of diabetes insipidus, which I was recently diagnosed with, began with migraines when I was fourteen. The disease made me dehydrated and sapped me of electrolytes. In hindsight, after it was named, the disease's side effects became obvious... even predictable! But I suffered from dehydration-related migraines for more than forty years and no doctor ever once told me to just drink a Gatorade each morning. (It was actually a visiting home-nurse who suggested this in 2020. Her suggestion made a dramatic difference in my life. I still shake my head about that.)

When we drove to Virginia in 2005, we spent just one night in a hotel. The day before we got there, I had a migraine after sleeping upright at a rest stop. About half an hour later - as the first migraine went away - I had a second. Half an hour later, a third. All totaled, I had about TEN of them, one right after the other. It was by far the worst bout of migraines I've ever had. I was starting to wonder if I was dying! I'm sure it was due to all the driving. Sitting for extended periods without much opportunity to either walk or lie down is not something the human body was built for. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it played a role in clogging your arteries.

There was a time when I could drive easily 12 hours and did. As age progressed that diminished a little. Then I realized how long the recuperation took when I was in my middle fifties so I stopped doing exceedingly long trips because miz micro is NOT a very good traveler. LAst time I drove down to Virginia Beach I had to stay overnight in Beckley, West Virginia so miz micro could rest and sleep overnight. I was glad we did also because the rest of the drive in was easier and We were not as tired from a long road trip for us.

This is why when I drove up to 70 miles east of Cleveland earlier this week and back again same day I was thrilled with my progress. I took my pillow along in case I needed to take a nap in a rest area. But I did not need to..

Age is starting to catch up to me though plus the 14 surgeries I have undergone have taken a toll.

At this point I am not sure how much longer I want to keep on consulting and driving long distances. Most times if it is over 5 hours away one way I will just spend the night at a hotel. I just do not sleep well at all in hotels. So I am better off just getting back home if I can..

I really like my clients and have great relationships and trust built up with them. I hate to let them down so I need to keep on helping as best I can.. Need to find a replacement.

Time for getting ready for bed..

C Ya All tomorrow.
