hey dave. sorry to hear about your wife. i dont think she would have wanted you to give up any more then she gave up.
i do know about the being alone thing and wonder how im going to do all this myself. you do have friends and support here from others who have or are going through the same thing.
it would be very wise to see another doc about a bio.
im the poster child for people who waited too long.
im new here myself ill try sending you a message on your profile page. i usually travel alone but i wouldnt mind some company on this ride.
