doggie,
What happen to your husband? I hope it is just normal check up.
Regarding on driving, I think it is just a matter of time to pick up. If you have no one to depend, then you have to drive regardless. I was ok now as I need to drop off and pick up my 2 kids everyday and do shopping on weekend.
My motto is...drive slowly and always stay at the right lane. Watch careful and be determined when you have to turn.
