physically i am definitely fragile. i am elderly, crippled by a drunk driver for fifty years, and constant falls and my new Deep Vein Thrombosis make daily living pretty scary.

neurologically i am fragile. constant seizures, i never know when i am going to get on the wrong bus or burn the house down. my brain is simply not reliable.

financially i am fragile. the average monthly rent in my low income area for a single room is more than the minimum monthly SSI. fortunately i have a lot of credit, but one large vet bill could make me and the cat homeless.

emotionally? NAAAAAH. i am very tough emotionally. no family but blessed with friends. not at all fragile emotionally.

one out of four ain't bad.
