(Yes, we have a dishwashing machine, but it still has to be loaded/unloaded).
Oh sheesh..... my dad's theory on this one... for me, if you can't stand. Sit.
Now, my mother's counting on this procedure that I'm supposed to have
soon (burning the nerve endings in my lower back) to take the pain away.
(Translation: I'll be doing all the housework for them in no time  )
I feel badly for you... Don't you get some "help" from your own parents in chiping in with the housework?
What she fails to understand is that my walking/balance is only one of the
problems I'm having. It would help if I could breathe without having to use
the nebulizer machine 3 times a day! Did I mention that I don't
use the machine as much when I'm by myself? Coincidence...?? |
I've got alergies, extreme cigarette smoke (no one smokes here), cat dander (I don't own cats and if I don't touch one or rub my face in one, I am ok) food alergies, and seasonal alergies are my biggest issues.
I would almost suggest this, but I don't want to hurt your feelings and or ego, but if I do, tell me. Have you ever tried thoose appartments (i think) that are considered "assisted living", no, not a "retirement vilage" or whatever, but think of how much freedom you could get from that, and I would be since it's "assited living" there are ways you could get out of your town or even on short trips.
I think my issues are only based on my dad's know-it-all friends, and like I said, what my dad hears from his friends, concerning me, goes.
. The only reason why I don't drive is basically from a very traumatic learning expireince in driver's ed. (Don't ask.)
That means, I am free "to do the housework" like my sisters and my dad expects. (I mean everything) My mom and I are basically the only ones who do it.
(I wish they could live in my shoes for a week!) (((((HUGS)))))
