In Remembrance

Actually, I haven't been able to do the housework for months, because my
legs just won't hold me up. The washer/dryer is in the basement and I can't get down the steps. I can't even stand up long enough to wash the dishes. (Yes, we have a dishwashing machine, but it still has to be loaded/unloaded). 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 ) 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 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))))) |

do if they suddenly developed hydro...or any other neurological condition, for that matter. Actually, the subject of assisted living did come up (I forget how), but to make a long story short, I'm "not disabled enough". As I understand it, the program is for severely disabled people and I don't fall into that category.

It is, but since I'm going to have the nerves in my lower back cauterized
soon, it may not be considered a "major issue". Especially if my walking and balance/coordination improve afterwards. I won't know how much improvement I'll get until after the procedure.

Hey, I just thought of something... you know how there is a little slip of paper in with a ss check how it says something about helping you safeguard yourself against getting your power, heat, and maybe gas shut off... maybe when you get back on your feet and have absolutely HAD IT putting up with everybody but YOU running your life, you could look into that. What do you have to loose? I am not sure how much it will deduct from your monthly check if it does, but you have obviously tried your hardest to live ON YOUR OWN. It's just a suggestion.
The only thing that could be a problem is transportation. But if you made friends with some kindhearted neighbors, that is a whole other story. Then again, I bet rent somewhere goes tward gas, heat, and electricity anyway. Just a suggestion for when you get back on your feet. I have faith you can do this on your own. (I just know it!! ) I bet you allmost anything that people who feel "stuck" with you are going to complain because they "have to" make thier house accomadatable to you so you can be the "housekeeper". For years, my own DAD had enough nerves to pretty much say to my face (without actually saying it, of course "rolls eyes".) that I was the reason we weren't very well off all the time. (Like i can help it! please....) BTW. It's been a very long time since my last operation. But yet, allowed his "prized chiildren" to go to universities. (Granted they weren't the BIG ones like, U of M.) But yet, I am the one who got blamed for not being so well off all the time. Good luck. Last edited by sjp_fanatic; 09-18-2006 at 10:40 PM. |

(I think someone was added to MY account because of the fact the people at my bank are complete morons and always had one of the numbers wrong on my account. (I mean the balance wither it was begining balance, total withdraws, not enought deposit, or ending balance.... I don't remember.) But it has ALWAYS been the banks fault. Except one time, wich was an accident. And I have gotten one "suprise" wich recently came back in my favor! (I just hope she doesn't take it upon herself to withdraw YOUR money for HER use. That would be terriable! I never really understood how that could work.) How do you like that, I'm the one who gets punished for something the bank did? Nice, right? |
