Moving Maybe

[mouth]

HI ALL Have not been here in ages.. Things have been going ok.. Until 2 months ago when my daughters numbers went up again.. but only 4 points.. she is still cheating and sort of in the denial still. doesnt want to deal with it. wont come too the teen site here.

But that is not what I am here for today.. Couple of questions

1- Any Sillys IN ALABAMA?? 90% that we will be moving there this summer

2- Easiest way to move?? Fly over night or try to drive... ugh

3- Keep Dr's here in NY?? She has been seeing them for almost 12 years now..???

Any answers welcome!!!!!!!!!

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I'd recommend finding, contacting and attending the local support group if there is one. We moved a year and a half ago and it has been very helpful for me, hooking me up with healthcare providers, restaurants and helping me get to know the area through the eyes of those with celiac disease. I can get along on my own but it's also nice to get out and socialize and eat safe food with others in an area where I didn't really know anyone or have the support of family or friends.

Best way? I don't know. I've done it coast to coast both directions and both methods and neither was easy. When we drove, we drove our own stuff out-no movers, so when we arrived we at least had our stuff. When we flew, we had to wait almost 2 weeks for our stuff and car to arrive so we slept on an air mattress that we bought when we arrived. Don't recommend that! (We did sleep in a hotel the first 2 nights). Actually the first move, when we drove was probably easier. We had all that down time on the road for a few days between packing and unpacking and got to see alot of the country. But I wasn't gluten-free at the time so didn't need to deal securing safe with meals. But I'm probably jsut reminiscing more than being helpful.

Thanks! lol. its ok.. I agree with you, but i will have a truck taking the stuff as i am a single mom.. And we will probably fly down and also have the car towed.. Its far enough... I do know that there is a Wild Oats not to far from where I will be living.. That is great.. I have friends down there, not gluten-free tho.. So they know where everything is. And there are alot of supermarkets in the area as well.. Wild Oats being the most important and also UAB right there.. oh University of Alabama.. That is why I posted here. To try to find contacts. I hope somebody answers.. You are the first to respond.. talk soon and thanks for the help! Any help is always wonderful..!!!!!!!!!!!
