Without going into a big story, my 93 year old Mom is diagnosed with a cancerous mass in one of her lungs. But, the recent focus is a mild stroke she sufferred which basically zapped her strength, but she is getting around better each day. As far as the cancer, it's not hurting her now, and we all decided to let it go (no treatment). Quality of life for the time remaining is the main concern...

So, my half-brained recommendation for the topic at hand is... after resolving the problem with the bike, take a long road trip stopping at all the invites in here along the way, and eventually find yourself somewhere in Alaska. Camp out there until the family problems (aka fighting sisters) are over and gone, then have a wonderful ride back home...

JMHO :-)
