Yesterday I drove her back to her house, and she stayed there overnight by herself and was not shaky in the morning. She feels that she's adapted to the blood pressure meds, and doesn't need 24x7 help. She was also given clearance to drive, so she doesn't need chauffeuring.
Since she's able to achieve this level of independence, this lets me resume my life for a little while, although I will still be regularly hauling back and forth on the turnpike.
To better deal with all the hauling back and forth, I didn't rely on the Cellar Car. As great as the Cellar Car is, it should not face this amount of mileage and/or be the only available vehicle in an emergency. So I have had two rentals which have really helped get the job done. Even if they are big American boats, they are quiet and new, and manage to make the trip down the pike a little easier.
