spend a day in Baltimore, at University of Maryland Hospital, and have a bunch of testing done. He will be sedated, so will need a driver. Since he has a traumatic brain injury, is hard of hearing, as well as the issue of him being groggy from sedation, I
have to go with him to listen to what the test results are, as he would forget a lot of it. I have asked everybody I know that drives but haven’t found anybody willing to help. Taking a cab is out of the question, as we are poor and could never afford it.
