She's home and fine.
Just wanted to update this entry.
I kept calling my ex-neighbors cell phone and not getting any answer, and her voice mail wasn't answering either, so I just kept calling about once an hour since she left.
She just called me about 5 minutes ago, said that she made it home ok, she was very very tired the whole way, so she cranked the AC, the radio, and also drove along with the windows rolled down, kept smoking cigs one after the other, and she had a diet soda with her, so she kept taking drinks at every red light or stop until she made it all the way home.
Once she got in the house, she kicked off her Crocs, put her purse and stuff down, she went to her fave chair, and she said as soon as she sat and got comfortable, she fell asleep, like just passed out.
She stayed asleep until just now.
She said her husband and son just let her stay sleeping and they ordered pizza for dinner, because she so very rarely sleeps, they figured she needed it.
She apologized for not calling me to let me know, and said her cell was in her purse so neither her husband or son heard it ringing, otherwise they would have answered it and let me know she was ok.
Then she started crying because she felt bad that she made me worry, and how much it sucked that we lived so far away now, she's scared about having something like this happen at home and have no one around, how I was always around for her when her diabetes would make her all sick and dizzy and stuff.
There's not much I can say or do about that, but I told her I was glad she made it home and was safe, that's all that mattered.

My brother was diabetic and my mother worried about him every day of his life.

Whew! What a relief, I was worried about her & I don't even know her.

It's good that she made it home safe and sound. And her collapsing like that is completely understandable. Traveling can be utterly exhausting. I know. I've done some crazy road tripping by myself.
