It may be possible, but it would be incredibly costly and difficult.

We live in the quintessential American suburban sprawl neighborhood. It's 10 miles to my grocery store, 5 miles to a restaurant, and about 8 miles to the nearest bus stop.

I would need to rely on taxis quite a bit, which are expensive and unreliable. We have a bus transfer to a train station, so I might be able to find medical care somewhere along the train lines, though it would take me about 2 hours to get there.

I COULD do it, if I had to, but it would be miserable
