& welcome here!
Glad to know you understand.
I completely agree with you as living in the EU is an option for me as well as my late husband was from Ireland.
I've yet to pack-up and move but if my health was better I might.
The last couple of times I've traveled via air, my feet swelled up to be so huge and painful that I arrived unable to walk. My last trip abroad was in 2012 and it was so difficult for me between the airlines and the ramps and the other passengers that did not care to wait for me to be wheeled off of the plane.
That trip was a horror story and I was so pissed after I got home due to their failure to accommodate me that I managed to get part of my airfare refunded to me.
Things that happen to people like us no one understands as they've never been there. Maybe some day they will end up there, I don't know but I would not wish MS or any other disability on anyone, no matter how cruel they have been towards me.
I hope to see you around more and please take care!

"you should"--some people just talk that way. They get it from their mothers.
