I'm so sorry, Judy. "Quality of life" does not seem to be there. The only positive thing I can offer today is that I've come to love traveling on the little bus that comes to pick me up and take me to the dentist or the doctor. I don't use it all the time, as I can drive, but I have to use it when I am really sick or when I am pre-medicating for the dentist (I take demerol before dentist incursions so the needle won't hurt as much).
I am afraid I agree with Sally that we are under attack. I pray every day for protection from evil "within and without". The "without" is obvious--all the things that attack us, like pain, death, increased loss of function, financial problems, grief. The "within" is our own meanness and despair that can arise from being continually under attack from without.

It is a very difficult life. I had a good day yesterday, but I know it won't last. At least it's cooler and raining here.
Prayers for you, Judy.
