One thing I've found during my search for a new place over the years that has all the handicapped access - that just being disabled qualified me for help from disabled groups in the city - most of it for free or minimal fee as far as modifications to my apartment (or home if applies) - just needed doctor notes.... maybe some interim modifications are available to you until you can get a bit stronger to move - they had ramps, shower rails, etc... You might ask for Adult Protective Services also who may be able to send someone out and offer suggestions for the short term.. (I know your not a senior yet - nor am I, and again, I qualified because of being disabled)......

I hadn't thought about the city access to hanidcapped groups. Thanks so much! They have Meals on Wheels (husband is a volunteer for them), handicapped vans, etc. much more. Living in the country has not qualified me for a lot of this. Thanks so much for the information. We have modified the house here slightly for me right after the sacral fractures. So it makes a move even more worrisome for me. Next week is bringing a colonoscopy, a trip to the rheumatologist and then a trip to the country to get milk, eggs, meat etc. from my "green" rancher. I have just spent 4 days going thru family photo's, documents, etc. and getting them ready to mail. The car is full of boxes going to various family members. I've only made a small dent in the house. And I am absolutely exhausted. Stress is keeping me from sleeping.
Saga goes on.......
