Thank you for the suggestions. I'm not too keen on hearing books yet but things may change if that becomes my only option. I think a cheap device for reading only would be a good investment. I'll do some searches and look at the nvidia k1 as well. I'm a bit worried that even moving down to a tablet sized screen will make some things too hard to see but I'm hoping that it will just be an adjustment. I may need to go out and physically have a look before deciding on something to get me off the laptop. I try not to complain too much about aging. No it's not fun but it is a privelege that we don't all get. I'm glad you were able to find care for your children when they needed it. Medicine sure does move fast. My current general doctor is very old fashioned and I tend to have to figure out a lot of things on my own a lot. It's easy enough to change doctors but it can be a bit hard shopping for one on Medicare. I have Medicare (federal government coverage) due to illness not age and that covers your doctor, labs, emergency visits and hospital stays. I also have Medicaid (state coverage) which pays dental and prescriptions. The problem with changing doctors is the paperwork involved with prescriptions. When you have chronic illness there is constant paper work for preauthorizations etc and they could really care less if you don't have meds while you wait. So if you have many pre-authorizations done and approved for many years it can be scary to get a new doctor and have to start from scratch. You can't know ahead of time that your new doctor will want you on the exact same medication. It's just messy and a bit scary but I think it's something I need to do sometime soon. I really miss my work paid coverage. Anyway, I thank you for all the information. We have Black Friday here also followed by Cyber Monday. I really like the borrow a book idea. Thanks so much!!
