I'm so sorry Velleen. What terrible news about your DH. I hope the treatment works for him.

As for an ID, I think you can get one to replace your driver's license. Give the DMV a call, they can help you.

Linda

Oh, Velleen, I'm so sorry to hear about Vince. My prayers are certainly with you for his comfort and recovery.

Also, I know it's got to be hard to give up the ability/opportunity to drive yourself somewhere if you want to go. I applaud you for recognizing that it needs to be done, rather than taking unnecessary risks. I'm thinking that here in KS, the driver's license bureau can generate an ID card for you ... I don't know where I heard that tho. Possibly check with the DL bureau in your state?

Many (((HUGS))) to you both.

You can still go to the DVR to get an ID, it just want indicate driving.

You and DH will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I don't know about any other states, but New York offers a "Non-driver ID". It looks almost like a drivers license. Good for you, giving up driving. My 85 YO mother no longer drives, she hasn't in about 15 years, but keeps her license just for identification purposes.

So sorry to hear about your husband. I gave up driving this year. I still have my license but I no longer drive.

I think you can get another I.D. from the DMV as everyone above already mentioned.

My thoughts & prayers will be with you & your DH.

Sending up prayers and good thought for your DH and You.

In most all states you can go to the DMV and get just a picture ID.Good luck to you both.

Velleen, I'm so sorry to hear about Vince. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you.

I have nothing more to add about information for your ID question. My sister, who lived in Tennessee, had an ID from DMV that looked just like a driver's license, but it had " for identification only ".

Linda

Sending good thoughts for you and Vince!! (((Velleen)))

Well, Velleen, if you don't have to drive, now you don't have to watch out for all the crazy drivers! :O)
I'm so sorry about your husband. Hopefully the shots will help. Some towns have transportation for seniors. We are a small town but we have one, a small bus with a lift for those in wheelchairs. Hopefully your town has one to take you where you need to go.
Take care and God Bless

I am sorry to once again hear that cancer is affecting someone I 'know' - please know that our prayers are with you and your husband - I feel so bad for both of you!

Velleen,
I commend you for knowing when the time has come to hang up your car keys.
As others have mentioned the Drivers license bureau should be able to issue you a state ID.
As for Vince. I hope for treatment that can lessen his pain. And I am sending my best thoughts to the both of you.
GardenSpice

Sending lots of warm thoughts to both of you!

Sorry to hear about your DH, sending best wishes and good thoughts.
My DS doesn't drive because of a medical condition but he got an official ID at the DMV.
Clare

I'm so sorry to hear that, Velleen. Sending good thoughts to both of you.

I hope the shots will reduce Vince's pain and slow down the cancer. Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry. I sure wish I had some magic
words to help comfort you.

I don't, but I can sure say a prayer for you and
your DH. I hope the meds work and keep the pain
at bay for your DH.

It is a terrible thing to watch someone you love have
to go through that.

Hugs.

Oh my gosh, I'm very sorry to hear about your DH, Velleen. I hope you have plenty of family and friends around to help you both out now that you won't be able to drive. (((((Velleen & Vince))))

Dear Velleen, you sure have your plate full right now and lots to worry about. I am so sorry about your husband's illness and hope he is responding well to treatments.

Mammie

Hi Velleen,
I will keep Vince in my healing prayers.

Also, my grandpa uses Huron County Transit bus for older adults to get to his dr. appts. He can't drive anymore either. He doesn't mind it at all, and I'm sure your county has one too. I forget which county you are in though.

Lots of hugs,
Tammy

I am so sorry to hear about Vince, hopefully the shots will work and ease his pain. Bless you for realizing that it is time to give up driving. So many older folks just won't give up their independence and often injure or kill someone.

I will keep you both in my prayers. I wish there were something I could do for you to help.

Veleen,
You and Vince are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ron

I am so sorry to hear about DH, I send my prayers. The DMV has a free screening test for older folks that can help determine if they are still safe to drive. They will provide you with a "State ID" if you do not want a Drivers License. Thank you for not driving if you don't feel safe behind the wheel. You do understand that once you give your license up you may not be able to get it back right? I only say this because I had a client that changed her mind a little to late and was highly upset she could not get hers back.

Keeping you both in my thoughts and sending very special prayers for you too(((Vince and Veleen)))

Velleen, I'm so sorry to hear about Vince. I hope the shots help his pain. I've always admired your adventurous spirit....giving up driving must have been a hard decision but I'm glad you decided before it was decided for you. You and Vince will be in my prayers. ((((Velleen & Vince))))

Velleen,
I am saddened to hear DH is pain. Can he have someone come in and give him shots at the house? It sure would be much easier for both of you. I send my prayers and hugs to both of you.
I have added a link below for you to call your local Ohio
Registrar. You can get your ID there for $8.50. I assume that you will need to make a decision by next month by your birthday to get the ID. I think it sounds like the best thing to do, especially since you don't care to drive much anymore. Just make sure you have phone numbers handy for friends and family that will help out with the driving.
Or better yet~hire a driver and become the next "Driving Miss Daisy" How fun!!!

Keep us all posted on how you two are doing. We love to hear from you, even if the news is tough.
You are both in my heart and prayers.

Trin

Here is a link that might be useful: find your local county ID/license center

I am so sorry about Vince, and pray that he gets relief from the shots. I will keep you both in my prayers, and hope you will be able to spend time with us. Hugs to you both!

Velleen and Vince You both will be in my daily prayers I know getting old is not easy remember my Mom lived to be 100
So hopefully you can follow in her shoes she had a great life...
Now we have to get Vince in better health and you can still drive you golf cart!!!!!!! hugs and prayers for you both Inabest

Velleen, we all get to that point as the years creep up on us, don't we? Giving up driving is one of the hardest I think.

I believe though if I were you I would go ahead and see if your license can be renewed. If it can be, you will still have your ID without going through any extra trouble. And there might be times when you will need it in order to help Vince.

I hope Vince's doctors can help him and the two of you can enjoy many more years together.

Blessings.

Sue

OHH Velleen...I'm so sorry to hear about your hubster...I hope they can find something to ease his pain and slow that monster down...

As far as driving...I can see your sadness...I'll never forget getting my license and the freedom it affords us...I would probably follow Sue's advice and go ahead and get your license if you can...you just never know when you might need it...unless you feel your just not up to driving any longer...I hope you can find someone willing to take you wherever and whenever you need to go...You're both in my thoughts...

Velleen, I most certainly will hold you and Vince up in prayer.

Here's a website for Ohio telling you how to get a State ID card.

Shirley

Here is a link that might be useful: Ohio State ID card

(((Velleen & Vince))) We will hold you both in our prayers that things will be very easy and with the least amount of pain for both of you.

I give you so much credit for the realization that you can no longer drive. We have so many elder in our small town and some just scare me so badly while they are driving, worried that they will hurt themselves and or others.

Keeping you both in my prayers and thoughts.

I'm sorry to hear this news, Velleen, and I really do hope that Vince doesn't suffer much pain. I also commend you for giving up driving, you are so wise.

(((((Velleen and Vince and family))))))

((((Velleen and Vince))))

My prayers are with you both.

Velleen and Vince,
I am sending some thoughts and prayers your way.
Love You,
Deb

No additional comments, Velleen, seems as though everyone else has said what I would have told you. Just want you to know that I have you and Vince in my thoughts and prayers.

Your post just breaks my heart. I am so so very sorry. Sending lots of special thoughts, hugs and prayers.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Sending good thoughts your way. As far an ID I would still get my license renewed but just wouldn't drive. My father did
this for years.

Awww Lila, I'm gonna give you two a call!! Too late tonight-

You know how much I love ya both!

Hugs & prayers, Donna (^_^)

I'm very sorry to hear of Vince's diagnosis Velleen. I hope the shots will keep him comfortable. I will keep you both in my prayers. (((((Velleen and Vince)))))

Wish I had a miracle for you. But, you just hang on to that out dated driver's license. It seems to me it should still work as ID.

Velleen, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. I like the idea of keeping the driver's license renewed, but not using it. That has to be rough to give up driving.
Take care.

((((((((((((Velleen & Vince))))))))))))))

My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
