Why for the love of God does not one get it?
 

My wife when she was still here and now my son they just do not get it!!!

Since I have been hit with my friends MS, CANCER & HEART problems what I am capable of doing to help here in the home is very limited and like many of us our funds are tight. You go from being very productive with working and bringing home a pay check which was 40% greater than your disability check. You were also capable os sharing the household duties and such to being able to do very little.

For me I have become very protect of the few things that I am still able to do. Which are cooking, cleaning but not much at a time and the laundry. I no longer work as I can not find anything that is legit to do from home so when I am not doing any of the above 3 I live on my computer.

Now the family tells me that you have spent 40 years raising a family and taking care of 5 people and it is now time for you to retire and do what you want. Well I can not do what I want. I am so limited by my damn MS that I have very few options and they do not include playing golf.

What has brought this about is that we need to move to a single story home and if possible a less expensive place. Well we found one it is a little small but it can work but the one draw back for me is that the laundry facilities are outside in the carport storage area and there is now way that I can get there. So if we move to this house I lose one of the 3 things that I can do to be of help and value around the house. Now my son does not care about where that laundry room is and he thinks that it should not be that big of a deal for me either. He says just find something else to do boy I wish I could.

I am sorry that this is so long but it just so hit home as to my limitations.
