I just love this type of post question!!
First, I would tell no one except DH.
I would keep the house I have, but move into another place while having it made as handicapped-accessible as possible. I would also have the hardwood floors refinished, and completely re-do the kitchen with a tile floor, accessible sink and cabinets, and open up the kitchen/dining area to the deck with french doors. Plus, have a cover built over the deck.
I would donate a lot of money to Saint Francis Service Dogs. I would also donate to the animal shelter and the food pantry.
I would pay to have my son and his family fly here from California, and I would pay to have my other son and his family fly here from South Africa at least once a year.
I would hire a couple who would keep my house clean and do the small repairs DH is incapable of doing.
I would hire a landscaping service to put in raised gardens in the back yard, and do the weed-eating after I mow. We have 1.25 acres, and I use a riding lawnmower that makes me feel not only more "normal" but extremely powerful! Plus, I have a lot of fun going up and down the slopes!
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Gee, this is fun! Thanks to TX for starting it.
By the way TX, we lived in San Antonio for many years and I loved the Hill Country.
