Re: Question-when ya cant do much

Hi T

Sounds rough, but hopeful. As to your function restriction, I too cannot always

prepare meals or clean. When I had access to 0my roommates 9 year old, she was

great at fixing me a sandwich. Then I'd pay her 50 cents to dust my dresser. It

got to be a fun game for her.

I realized I can't do this alone.

When I got back in my own place, I put an ad on Craigslist and said what I could

pay. My ad stated that the candidates would need to be willing to submit to a

background check and drug test. I said 'willing,' but couldn't afford to run it.

I weeded out some riff-raff

I spoke to several candidates. I asked where did u work last and for how long.

One gal jumped ship every 3 months. ;;buzzer:: not for me.

I hired a great gal who brings her husband. He does heavy lifting and yard

stuff. Things I cannot do is change my sheets, clean dishes by hand and prepare

meals. I've been eating micro meals or baked potatoe. LOts of cereal. I can only

lift half gallon sized jugs.

I have to pace in the tub just to be able to get shower. My house is getting

filthy. I don't mind it for a while, but is this pain something that will go

away or is this something that I'll have for the long run. I guess I'm looking

for some hope.
