Still here in The Common Room

I’m still here in my home. Husband is making progress. The chances of him ever coming home are remote. I am trying to prove that I can get along on my own, ,although whether I will have means or not I can’t know. Much depends on what Medicare will do. My children and grand children have been wonderful but have lives , kids, and jobs of their own. Someone comes every two or three days. I’m figuring out how to handle much.

Because one of you nice people asked, I am oxygen dependent, mobile(sslowly and for short distances ). I see light and dark and bright colors and can perceive movement.

So far … Although the night terrors call often

Thank you all for the notes. You help by being there.

Blessed Be

I wish there was something I could do to help! If we lived in the same town I'd do what I could. The best I can do is send a virtual hug your way. :)

I wish we could be more practical help though! Glad you're hanging in there - come back and update us when you can.

I hate this for you. I pray a solution for help will come.

My uncorrected vision is like yours. I expect at some point in my life my vision will become uncorrectable, but I don't know. I am thankful for my eyesight every day.

I found you from Josh's latest post. Your comment made me come here. I'm not sure of all that you are dealing with, but I wish for a satisfactory outcome. Hugs.

Thank you. Any tips to share?

I wish we could do more. Meals on wheels might be helpful, re someone stopping by to talk to as well as to bring a meal you don't need to cook.

So glad to get that note from you. I’ve genuinely missed you but have not come back to this or OD in so long it’s shocking. I’m glad you’re still writing! I’m so sad to read the bits I’ve gleaned so far about your husband and the changes in your life. Change really is the only constant, isn’t it?
