Dear Barbara,

I'm sorry about your brothers.
Remind yourself that you have done well with this.

Contact your doctors and get some help.
They are aware of agencies in the area that can bring you
recordings of books on CD, movies, equipment that can help you,
and so on. Also, you might be able to get someone to come to
your house twice a week or more often to help you during these weeks after the surgery.
You might be able to get someone to give you rides to the
grocery store and stuff like that.

You live in a big enough place that has these services.

Contact each doc and nurse that you have dealt with and let them know
you are alone and need help. Ask them to refer you to some agencies.
Also, contact your health insurance.
HELLO! They might cover some things that your docs has not
asked for and that you have not thought about.

Social workers tend to be hooked up with information more
than doctors but doctors can send you to social workers.

Good luck Barbara.
I looks like you might need plans
for 1) short term, 2) mid range, 3) long term while you recover.

I'm sending you healing vibes.
Dark blue is a good healing color for the eyes.
I'm sending you intense blue. -- pretend that this is indigo.

M.
