My 2025 budget says I spent >2X as much last year on bills than 2024 due to medical problems, and last Friday, a New Related Problem began to surface. Today, I ask doctors about it!

My health impacts my ability to work.

Sadly the ugly vertigo flare still here*, so I'm trying to take extra steps to minimize its impact on my trip to FKO this weekend. Will anyone be in the vicinity of the YYZ airport Friday afternoon & would be willing to help me get to the hotel in Markham? Flight in at 3.45pm ET.
