Good grief.The part about "no taxi" is just ridiculous. What do people do, who don't have a partner handy and aren't the type to "approach" neighbors or don't have approachable neighbors? Do they have to pay to hire a driver for a whole day?
It sounded unreasonable at first, but after going through the surgery it sounds more reasonable. I am really glad that Frank could drive me home. If I took a taxi, they would just drop me off down at the street probably, maybe 50 feet from the door. But Frank drove up the driveway to about 3 feet from my side door, got the car door and house door open, held me by the arm to steady me as I walked inside, pointed out the little step right at the doorway so I didn't trip on it, steered me to my easy chair and got me situated in it, and then brought me lunch. A cabbie wouldn't have done all that. I am thinking that if I had been dropped off at the street instead, it is possible or even probable that I might have tripped or fallen because I was pretty shaken up and not 100% quite yet. Maybe other people are and I was the exception? I have no idea, but I was sure glad Frank was there caring for me.
