My sister just had open heart surgery. For a week I drove in between OSU and my Dad's house. That was a 50 minute ride each way...every day. Then once she was released I took her home back to Cleveland to recover. I had to change hats daily running in between being a wife and being a caretaker, trying desperately to balance the needs of my husband and my sister. I'm not sure I did well in either department. I've been traveling in between Cleveland and Columbus for over a month now. From my house near Cleveland to the OSU hospital is 1 hour and 55 minutes. From my house to my Dad's house is a solid 3 hours. He lives about 50 miles south of Columbus. Family is wanting Dad and sister to move up near Cleveland so we can all help take care of each other.
