Frequent medical visits had become a way of life earlier this year for John and Audrey Stanton.
John, 86, suffered from serious eye problems, a painful skin infection called cellulitis and, more recently, repeated shortness of breath — all of which kept landing him in the hospital.
"It was one thing after another. Like the doctor said, 'Somebody is after you!' " Stanton laughs.
And for his 81-year-old wife, Audrey, the nearly two-hour drive each way to Kaiser in Riverside from their home in Hemet was a tough haul.
"I’m not a long-distance driver so I had to be real careful," she says. "It was stressful."
