Got this email back from Kathy's Smoking today. Posting it with her permission:
[FONT="]Hey, brother. Been having a rough go of it healthwise this summer, but doing better lately. Going to visit cousins soon, when I'm back from the weekend (it's kind of a test) I'll go on site and post like a good sister. Have my passport, got the go ahead from the respirologist last Wednesday to drive to Texas assuming I get my strength back to a reasonable level by then. I'm sure I will, just have to behave. Last detail is to ensure travel/health insurance and Raffy and I are set. Had to change my itinerary to backwards from original plan, going more or less straight to Texas by way of Chicago to have an easier drive, must push myself less now. Probably limiting to 400 km a day with lots of rest, at least to start until I see what works. Intend to send Ronelle a PM soon to see if any Chicago brothers are free to meet up on my way, hopefully they know a good place to meet that doesn't take me into the city or too far off my route, have to drive as efficiently as I can.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Go ahead and cut and paste this into a post. Looking at leaving home Tuesday Oct 16, gives me about a week to drive with a short stop near Chicago on Thursday if that works for my brothers.[/FONT]
