I drove almost the entire time but then again I am MUCH YOUNGER than you. LOL Anyway, there wer many days that I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel especially for a 90 mile RT but hey, no one could tell me anything. Not Mr Stubborn. I also was pretty antisocial and really didn't want to be around people looking and feeling the way I did. Sometimes I had to pull off the interstate shoulder and toss and sometimes I would forget what had happened the last mile or so. SCARY to say the least. Don't be to proud to let people help.
