She might have to be admitted to hospital to drain fluid from arm. She was admitted a few months ago to drain fluid from leg. I never know when something is going to happen with her. She lives an hour and a half away. And I have to travel back roads because I won't take beltway or highway. And getting from hospital back to her home so I can find my way home. I got lost last time. Had GPS but it was telling me to go farther and farther into a neighborhood. And I got scared that I wouldn't find my way out. I'm sick of the uncertainty and the stress from her.

Sounds like you are going through the "what ifs" if you don't drive to see her. I know how that can feel.
I don't blame you for not wanting to drive on the beltways or super highways. I try to keep off them, too. It never use to bother me driving on those roads, but since helping out my parents these past 6 years [they still live alone], I want to do less and less driving.
